Want to Know What Politics Looks Like After Roe? Look at Texas’ Primary
As Carlos Soto criss-crossed San Antonio to knock doors for Jessica Cisneros , he’d encounter Democrats who told him, politely but firmly, that the 29-year-old immigration attorney was “not my candidate.” These were more moderate voters, Soto explained when I joined him on his route in February. That response was often code for their discomfort with Cisneros’ pro-choice stance. “ Abortion issues — that’s one of the biggest ones in Texas,” Soto said.

At the time, Heard testified that she struggled to maintain her career and had to fight to keep her role as Mera — the love interest of Mamoa’s Aquaman — for the Aquaman sequel amidst a slew of negative press following her divorce from Depp, the temporary restraining order she got against him, and the allegations of abuse Depp leveled at her.
