It’s not (only) about trying to boost his poll numbers for the election, it’s about power: declaring the emergency allows him to somewhat bypass the legislature, letting him do things he wants to do without much oversight or restraint.

Abbott just trying to throw some FUD around because hes trailing in polls to Gina and starting to sweat.
