Poll: More minority voters in Texas to vote for Trump
SUMMARY: Following the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance emerged as the official GOP presidential ticket. The convention showcased increased diversity, aiming to attract minority voters amid shifts in polling data showing a potential decline in Democratic support among Black and Hispanic voters in Texas. Notable Republican figures, including Congressman Wesley Hunt and Mayor Eric Johnson, addressed the convention, emphasizing public safety and economic concerns. Analysts suggest demographic trends indicate a pivot among younger voters and that both parties must rethink their branding. The Republican strategy focuses on appealing to these changing dynamics as the election approaches.
New polling shows an increasing number of Black and Hispanic voters in Texas are planning to vote for former president Donald Trump in November. FOX 4’s Steven Dial, FOX 26’s Greg Groogan and FOX 7’s Rudy Koski discuss the trend and what it means going forward for both parties. NOTE: This was recorded before President Biden ended his reelection campaign.

Avoiding toll road collection scams
SUMMARY: Toll-related phishing scams are becoming common, where individuals receive unsolicited texts claiming they have outstanding toll balances, directing them to click a link that appears genuine but is fraudulent. Leah Napo from the Better Business Bureau advises caution, especially if the message requests immediate action or sensitive personal information. To verify legitimacy, individuals should contact their toll authority directly. If someone accidentally engages with a scam, they should not click any links and may need to run malware checks on their devices. Reporting such scams to the FBI or Federal Trade Commission is also recommended to help combat these issues.
Leah Napoliello, Vice President of the Better Business Bureau of Greater Houston and South Texas, shares what you need to know to keep your information safe from scammers posing as toll road collection agencies in text messages.
