MS NOW held its third annual fan gathering, Together in Texas: We the People 2026, at the College Park Center. This event marked the first time the network hosted such a gathering outside of New York.
Why it matters
The network moved beyond studio-based broadcasting to engage directly with viewers in a political battleground. Texas was selected for the event due to its significant role in national immigration debates.
This assembly represented the third annual fan gathering held by the network. A total of 12 network hosts attended the event to facilitate engagement with the live audience.
