Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced late Monday that he will continue Special Sessions, citing a poll that shows more than half of Texans oppose walkouts planned by Democrats to block a GOP-backed election overhaul bill.

“Texans Oppose Walkouts to Avoid Votes. No one else gets paid to walk off their job. Quitters never win,” the Republican governor said on Twitter. “We will continue successive Special Sessions until elected representatives do what they were elected to do—debate issues & cast votes.”
