Voters in Texas are heading to the polls Tuesday for the first primary of the midterm season, where an AOC-backed progressive will take on Rep. Henry Cuellar and Trump-backed incumbents will face challenges from the right. At the top of the ticket, Gov. Greg Abbott will likely best two lively right-wing challengers to win a third term. Abbott, who has been endorsed by Trump, has tacked to the right and run an aggressive campaign that included 60 campaign stops throughout the state in the weeks leading up to the primary.Catering to his right-wing base, Abbott signed the Texas abortion law banning the practice after six weeks, told state agencies to investigate treatment for youth as 'child abuse' and deployed Texas National Guard troops to the southern border.
