for three days involved in the trump litigation in pennsylvania. so, on the one hand, seems like a qualified person. on the other hand, he s got this trump involvement which has everybody up in arms. we ll see how he acts thechlt gone through a number of secretaries of state there, so this is another in a line of appointments there. it s obvious the governor of texas is demanding an audit of a state he won, which i find strange frankly. but by putting somebody who had involvement with his legal team in his job, they re hoping to gain favor there. texas democrats are calling the new secretary of state one of the architects of the republicans big lie. he represented the former president. what do you make of it? look, first i think i agree with scott and i think greg abbott is trying to curry favor with donald trump. i think he either wants to be on trump s ticket should trump run. if he doesn t you re going to see greg abbott along with ron
