Listen "State of Texas - July 7, 2024"
Episode Synopsis
Pressure grows for Democrats to find an alternative to Joe Biden, and one Texas Congressman is turning up the heat. Monica Madden interviews Congressman Lloyd Doggett about his case for making a change at the party convention, and what could happen next. Plus, we hear from Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett about why she thinks Biden should stay in the race.
There is a new development in our investigation into hospital crashes and the safety barriers experts say could prevent disaster. Investigator Matt Grant reports on a resolution filed after a deadly crash at an Austin hospital. It could be the catalyst for change in Texas and beyond.
Two vastly different candidates are running to represent you in the U.S. Senate. Daniel Marin spent time with both Ted Cruz and Colin Allred away from the noise of the campaign trail, with the goal of finding insight you won’t get in a traditional interview. The result will be a one-hour special set to air this coming Wednesday. We’re giving you a preview this Sunday.
Concern about growing demand on the Texas power grid is fueling calls for more funding to build power plants. Avery Travis reports on the new call from state leaders and how it could shape the future of the grid – and why one expert is skeptical about the demand outlook. State of Texas is a statewide, in-depth program focused solely on Texas politics. Produced at KXAN in Austin and airing in 14 markets across the state, the show gives viewers greater perspective on the Texas Legislature, state policy and elections.
