So a couple of days ago, I filed a lawsuit in the Texas Supreme Court seeking the removal of the leader of this group of Democrats who have fled. Because I am saying that Under Texas law, he has abandoned his office by refusing to show up and by denying the state the ability to pass these laws. that are so very important. And so we're seeking to set a new president in Texas that will ensure that anytime they try to do this again, it will be abandonment of office, allowing their removal from office. (07:16–07:26)
