North Texas sees "No Kings: Vote Early" protests
"USE YOUR POWER AND VOTE" reads a sign beside the road in Frisco. In CBS Texas's short report, that message supplies the practical focus of Saturday's "No Kings" demonstrations: turning protest into participation in November's midterm elections.
The report opens with file footage of earlier gatherings before showing demonstrators near FM 423. The anchor says organizers describe the day's aim as boosting nonpartisan voter registration. Signs opposing President Donald Trump are also visible, alongside calls to vote.
Frisco is part of a wider North Texas schedule, with the report also naming rallies in Plano, Southlake and Dallas. The Short drew about 28,000 views in its first 13 hours, well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for the format.
CBS Texas followed with a report on hundreds attending demonstrations across the region. Its election coverage also turns to the next step: early voting begins Monday, according to the station's separate report on Texas voter registration.
