Texas is known for super-sizing every endeavor, so amid another hyper-polarized election season you can bet on a spectacle with an ensemble cast down south. Scott Braddock of Quorum Report joins Henry this week to give us the inside scoop on the Cornyn-Paxton Senate runoff and a close look at the characters vying for redrawn House districts around the major metro areas.

Plus, Henry examines this week's primary results, paying special attention to the victory for polarization — evidenced by Thomas Massie's decisive defeat at the president's behest on the one hand, and the big win in PA-03 by new Squad member Chris Rabb on the other.
