So the choice on the table in Austin is act early and eat the voter backlash, or sit tight, let Democrats push sanctuary policy through Texas, and try to patch it after. Rough spot to be in. Senate Republicans are reportedly meeting over a plan that would move control of the chamber off the incoming Democrat lieutenant governor and onto a new Republican majority leader, per the Quorum Report. Why it matters: that office runs the Senate down there. It picks who chairs the committees and decides which bills ever get a floor vote. Gov. Ron DeSantis is already worried Texas turns into a Sanctuary State given how many Democrats just won statewide. Until control comes back, PURE SURVIVAL MODE. We cannot lose Texas. #RonDeSantis
