AUSTIN, Texas — Republican Gov. Greg Abbott blasted President Joe Biden during his inauguration speech outside the Capitol Tuesday and vowed to focus his third term on securing the state’s border.

Abbott was sworn into office Tuesday morning surrounded by his family and state lawmakers. His remarks touted the state’s many economic victories, as well as how he believed the state could be victorious in gaining control of its 1,250-mile border with Mexico amid record-high arrests of illegal immigrants.
