Pregaming the 2024 Texas primary elections

Ahead of Super Tuesday, The Texas Tribune held an event Wednesday, Feb. 21, about what’s at stake in the state’s March 5 primary.

Panelists shared their insights about what Texas voters will be deciding and what it means for Republicans, Democrats and Texans as a whole. They covered races up and down the ballot — from the presidential campaign and the Democratic race to take on U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, to the politics surrounding battles for spots in the Texas Legislature.

The conversation, moderated by Rebekah Allen, The Texas Tribune’s politics editor, includes:
Zach Despart, politics reporter, The Texas Tribune
Karen Brooks Harper, health and human services reporter, The Texas Tribune
Jasper Scherer, state politics reporter, The Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News
