Politicsnation. Tonights lead, stormy days. Tonight more than half a million homes and businesses in and around houston, texas, are still without power after punishing storms slammed into the region yesterday, leaving at least seven people dead and putting intense strain on the infrastructure and power grid. The Lone Star State is weathering political storms as well tonight. Outrage is growing over Governor Greg Abbotts pardon of a white Army Sergeant found guilty of murder found guilty of murdering a black lives matter demonstrator in 2020. Critics are calling the pardon politically motivated. Well be talking about it all with the democrat challenging ted cruz for the senate, congressman cro little allred. Meantime, the white house is hoping to avoid political tempest tomorrow as the president delivers the Commencement Speech at Historically Black Morehouse College. Students and faculty have been divided over bidens support of the war and his presence on their campus. Weve got another
