Fox News viewers forced to face the facts about Texas election rigging



Fox News viewers were briefly pulled away from segments about actor Sydney
Sweeney’s jeans when Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin appeared on
screen to detail his party’s fight against Texas Republicans’ attempts to steal
five congressional seats ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

When Fox host Dana Perino asked if Democrats would change their policies in
the face of low public approval for the party, Martin used the moment to remind
viewers that the Republican Party is trying to steal elections.

"We have to do a better job there, for sure. But remember, Dana, that the ’26
elections and ’25 elections will be a referendum on Donald Trump, and his
numbers are actually in the toilet right now,” Martin said. “He's sitting at
37% approval rating. He's one of the most unpopular politicians—or
presidents—in recent memory. And so, listen, if I was [in the] Republican Party
right now, I would be worried too. Which is why they're trying to cheat and
steal these elections in Texas."

Earlier this week, Martin joined Gov. JB Pritzker and Texas Democratic
lawmakers in Illinois to support their decision to leave the state, thereby
denying Texas Republicans the quorum required to redraw district maps.
Democratic officials across the country have voiced support for the righteous
stand as Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas threatens the lawmakers with
legal action in his effort to further gerrymander his state’s districts.

Martin’s deft reframing of Perino’s question is an important lesson for
Democrats, who must be vigilant in pushing back against the distracting
narratives that many in the media amplify.
