Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's rise in conservative politics

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been in the national spotlight thanks to Tropical Storm Harvey. At a church in Texas, he announced Sunday, September 3 would be a day of prayer. He’s a Christian conservative and climate change skeptic. Abbott has been governor for three years, and was attorney general before that.
