Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vows to defund state Legislature after voting restrictions bill fails, threatening salaries
Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday he would veto the section of the state budget that funds the Legislature, hours after a Democratic walkout killed his priority elections bill.
"No pay for those who abandon their responsibilities," Abbott said in a tweet. "Stay tuned."
Late Sunday night, enough Democrats left the House to break a quorum and block passage of the elections bill, Senate Bill 7, before a midnight deadline. Calling the bill's failure "deeply disappointing," Abbott quickly made clear he would call a special session to get it passed, though he has not specified a timeline.
