TribCast: 10 questions that will shape Texas politics in 2026

TribCast Eleanor Greg Abbott Matthew Texas

It’s a new year, with new theme music for the TribCast, and a fresh set of political questions facing Texas elected officials. Texas Tribune political reporters Kayla Guo and Alejandro Serrano join Matthew and Eleanor to debate what 2026 holds for the state’s top political players.
