Veasey and McCaul discuss how the policy priorities and actions taken by the Biden administration will impact Texas.
The week after Texas’ deadly snowstorm damaged the state’s power grid, U.S. Reps. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, and Michael McCaul, R-Austin, both said they support weatherizing the grid and they outlined different solutions for preventing another such catastrophe.
Their comments came during a virtual interview with The Texas Tribune’s Abby Livingston. The conversation, which was recorded Monday and shared online Wednesday, also touched on the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol (McCaul said the riot was a “setback” for the Republican Party) and on leadership in Washington (McCaul and Veasey both reminisced about former U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.)
