Summary

Texas Democrats have left the state to block a mid-decade redistricting vote, triggering threats of arrest from Governor Greg Abbott — and even FBI involvement. The high-stakes standoff has become a flashpoint for the 2024 political landscape, with lawmakers fleeing to blue states in protest as the GOP tries to reshape congressional maps. In this episode of The Chris Cuomo Project, Chris and his team explore what the odds are telling us — not just about Texas, but about the 2024 landscape. From redistricting battles to surprise firings and shifting polls, prediction markets are offering a unique window into the political chaos.

0:00.0	It's so funny because when you look at the guys, that's never a topic of conversation. Yeah. What you look like? Yeah. Did you watch the football last night? It's never about, I'll watch your skincare routine. Whereas women walk into a room and because we've been taught to be pitted against each other. Yeah. Not always, but sometimes there's, oh my God, you know, I can't. It's a bit of a barrier. Yeah, yeah. and it shouldn't be there.
0:01.1	We should be trying to change that stereotype. always, but sometimes there's, oh my God, you know, I can't. A bit of a barrier. Yeah, yeah, and it shouldn't be there.
0:22.2	We should be trying to change that stereotype, believing that there is space for everybody.
0:27.7	Everything that's going on in our politics right now is actually geared to one goal.
0:33.9	Do you know what that is?
0:35.0	Because I'm about to tell you.
0:42.6	Yeah. goal. Do you know what that is? Because I'm about to tell you. I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo project. The midterms. It's all about the midterms.
0:50.8	That's what everything you see happening within the Trump administration and everything that the Democrats are trying right now to get traction is about the midterms.
1:00.7	The Democrats are making a bet that what beat them is now what they will use to beat what beat them, meaning an angry populist movement that is pissed off about real things, okay, affordability,

1:43.4	But we're seeing that on the left. Socialism, really,
1:47.4	embracing Islamism and far left radical agendas? Really? So you really are going to prove the MAGA
1:55.2	people right with their white replacement theory, which I don't believe at all. But now you're going to
2:00.4	give a suggestion of that
2:01.4	by taking, you know, the Palestinian side over the American and the Israeli side or Iran or any of
