Nathaniel Moran visited our news partner KETK on Friday to discuss several topics including the quorum break in the Texas State Legislature and the ongoing war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Moran applauded Trump for meeting with Putin in person.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate the fact that President Trump is going to sit down with him face to face,\u201d Moran said. \u201cBecause I think that\u2019s going to help to communicate how serious President Trump is about achieving peace in the region there in Europe and how, Putin needs to back off of what he\u2019s doing presently and to put a pause on all that he intends to do even in the future, because, frankly, I don\u2019t think he intended to stop with Ukraine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Moran also commented on the Republican effort to redistrict Texas to have more Republican seats in the U.S. Congress and how Texas Democrats have broke quorum, halting work in the State Legislature. He suggested that Texas Democrats will have to come back to the state in order to continue the work of the Texas Legislature.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a state negotiation. It\u2019s a state matter that they\u2019re going to have to decide. They\u2019re going to have to incentivize those folks somehow probably to come back or frankly, just continue to stand firm ground until they realize they can\u2019t stay out of the state forever,\u201d Moran said. \u201cThey\u2019ve got to come back and deal with the legislative business of the people here in the state of Texas and that\u2019s their responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
East Texans can expect to hear more from KETK\u2019s interview with Moran in an upcoming episode of East Texas In Focus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
