According to Texas election law, Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, must call a special election to fill the vacancy, but that process couldwill take months
I hate to bring this up, but this tale really demonstrates the ridiculousness of how we keep electing these ancient people. This man never should have been put in office. He was too old.

The last public statement he ever made is a video of him begging for those less fortunate than him to not have their medicaid taken away from them.

He was elected to his FIRST term, at 70??? That's fucking insane.

He attended Trump's speech, then left and died on his way home. Symbolism much?
