2/ O’Rourke is expected to paint Abbott’s signing of a law that banned nearly all abortions in the state as too extreme. The law has narrow exceptions to save the life of a pregnant patient.
Confusion around the state’s ban has led medical professionals to delay or deny care.

3/ Abbott will likely discuss the $4 billion he’s invested into Operation Lone Star, an attempt to slow the number of migrants crossing into the state by deploying thousands of National Guard service members and Department of Public Safety troopers to the border.
4/ The two will likely debate gun policy.
O'Rourke and families of Uvalde shooting victims have pushed for gun safety measures and advocated for raising the age for owning a semi-automatic rifle from 18 to 21.
Abbott has resisted those calls.
