Texas Republicans recently held a party convention in Houston, with delegates primarily focused on contentious political matters. Governor Greg Abbott delivered a 25-minute address to approximately 5,000 delegates. His speech highlighted themes such as combating "radical Democrats," avoiding an "Austin-style woke agenda," and maintaining Texas's status as the most conservative state in the U.S.
A notable attendee at the George R. Brown Convention Center on Friday afternoon was Paige, a live elephant. Paige, wearing a white cloak emblazoned with the slogan “Unity drives victory,” was led up the central aisle of the vast conference hall. The presence of a pachydermal visitor has historically been an internal jest at Texas Republican party conventions, with the elephant serving as a symbol of the GOP for 150 years. During her procession, Paige took a break and required to urinate.
