Greg Abbott
The Texas governor who signed some of the most aggressive anti-abortion and voting restriction legislation in modern American history, and whose response to the Uvalde school shooting was criticized as inadequate — Abbott's wheelchair, the result of a tree falling on him in 1984, has never limited his political ambitions.

The Case For Greg Abbott
“The longevity argument alone puts them in a category of one. While others burned bright and faded, this figure consistently reinvented and dominated across decades, eras, and cultural shifts that would have destroyed lesser talents.”
“Technically unmatched. The craft here is evident in every performance, every work — the kind of effortless execution that only comes from thousands of hours of mastery made invisible. They make the impossible look inevitable.”
“Commercial success should never be held against artistic legacy. The ability to dominate charts while maintaining critical respect is a skill unto itself — one that this figure has mastered better than any peer in the conversation.”
