Texas lieutenant governor supports stripping Democratic successor of powers
The Washington Post's live page reports that Dan Patrick, defeated by Democrat Vikki Goodwin in Texas's lieutenant governor race, urged Republican state senators to strip the office's powers before she takes office, and that Goodwin warned they would do so at their peril. It also covers Scott Colom's criticism of the Cook Political Report as he leads Cindy Hyde-Smith by nearly 2,600 votes, a ransomware attack on Vanderbilt University, a $26 million theft in Cranbury Township, Teddy Riner's run for French president, Justice Department resignations, and 2027 stamps honoring Pat Summitt and Willie Mays.
