Second Reading Podcast: Week One of the Paxton Trial + new UT/TxPP Polling on Border Security, Public Education

| By: Texas Politics Project

In a new Second Reading Podcast, Jim Henson and Josh Blank review the first week of the impeachment trial of suspended attorney general Ken Paxton, and take a quick look at key results in the August 2023 UT/Texas Politics Project Poll.

Results from the August 2023 UT/Texas Politics Project Poll discussed in the podcast

The share of Texans who reported having heard "a lot" about "the legal problems of Attorney General Ken Paxton" increased was only 20% right before the 2022 general election. It increased to 31% by June 2023, after he was impeached by the Texas House.
