The lieutenant governor position is powerful in Texas, but Sen. José Menéndez (D-San Antonio) said he’s heard “rumblings and threats that they’re going to try to strip the lieutenant governor of their power and set up sort of a minority, majority leader situation like they do in the federal government.” “If that happens, they have the potential to gum up everything,” Menéndez said. “So I hope that’s not what happens. I hope they choose to govern with us instead of becoming obstructionist. “Last night — if nothing else, we should learn from yesterday that people are sick and tired of people not getting anything done.” https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2026/11/05/texas-democrats-rode-a-blue-nami-to-power-what-now/ #txlege @KSAT12 | SATX local news - @menendez4texas
