Texas GOP's new platform says Biden didn't really win. It also calls for secession

The Republican Party of Texas refuses to recognize the legitimacy of President Biden's election win. Just before Biden's inauguration in 2021, armed groups held a rally in front of the Texas State Capitol in Austin. (Matthew Busch/AFP via Getty Images)
