Abraham George - Texas GOP Chairman Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Vault here, you can't vote here. Six twenty three is
our time here in Houston's Morning News, Abram Georges with
US Texas GOP chairman. This is a very interesting little
infight going on between the Secretary of State, the Attorney
General and the Republican Party of Texas. And the only
one that doesn't seem to be on the same page
is the Texas Secretary of State who has an our

(00:21):
next door name Abraham or does the R stand for
Rhino instead of Republican?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well, in this case, I can guarantee you it does,
because no Republican in state of Texas wants an open
primary where the Democrats can come and choose our primary candidates.
I mean, it's not the election, it's it's naming our
primary candidates. And why would you want a Democrat to
do that? So it's crazy what's happening with jan Nelson

(00:48):
at the SOS office.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Right well, and she's willing to spend one point two
to five million taxpayer dollars in order to be able
to prevent us from going to a closed primary. That
tells me there's a commitment there. Certainly, that's our tax
fair dollars being used against.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Us, that's right. The state have an attorney we called
them attorney general, right, and Ken Vaxton joined us, and
that's who's supposed to be out there protecting the state's interest.
And he looks at it and he goes, Yeah, Republican
Party have the right to close their primaries because that

(01:24):
is a constitutional right, the right to associate with the
people we believe are Republicans. That is our first Amendment. Right.
He agreed with us after we filed the lawsuit against
the state and the sos. But she's I was told
she's committed to one point two five million dollars of
our dollars to fight against the Republican Party so she

(01:47):
can keep Democrats coming into our primaries. Not there, but
our primaries.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
So I guess at this point it will work its
way through the court system. Any idea how that process
is likely.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
To work, Well, we're still waiting on a court to
get us a date and have started the hearing and
all of that stuff. We don't have an exact timing
on this, but we were hoping to get all of
this done before the twenty six primaries. But if Jane
Nelson keeps fighting us, she has unlimited dollars because it's

(02:21):
our tax dollars, and if she keeps fighting us, it
may take us multiple years to get there because she
can continue to take us to the next court.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
All right, So there's an opportunity or there's a chance here,
I guess is what you're saying that this would not
be resolved before the next primary season came up for
the twenty six election, and therefore we would end up
with an open primary for the twenty six election, and
that it is crowded as the Republican field is in
some areas, that could make things very interesting.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
That's correct. So we have you know Senate rates going on,
AG's rates going on, we have you know governors. So
many of our teats are open or have strong candidates
running against each other, and that will make all the
difference because you know, a lot of Democrats are not

(03:15):
happy with maga Republicans, so they're going to cross over
to the Republican primary and choose the most moderate Republican
who will in turn and go support Democrat policies once
they're elected. It could make a huge difference for President
Trump's agenda in twenty twenty six. It's a disaster. We

(03:41):
should have gotten this done when we filed that Danielson
had no business opposing this.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Okay, well, good luck with U. Sorga and give us
post it if you would appreciate your time. That's Abraham George.
He is the head of the Texas GOP
