Despite the long history of backing Republicans in presidential, senate and governor races, there have been continuing suggestions that Texas could be on the verge of an unprecedented switch in voter dynamic.

Not only did Biden close the presidential gap in 2020,
but former Texas Democratic Representative #Beto #ORourke was only narrowly beaten by incumbent Republican #Ted #Cruz in the 2018 Senate race.

Polls have also indicated that Cruz could have another tight reelection fight this year against Representative #Colin #Allred, who is hoping to be the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Texas state since 1988.

How about some #GoodNews!

Things in #Texas have been heating up between #ColinAllred and ted #cruz.

Thanks in large part to #Beto, #JasmineCrockett, and LOTS of grassroots efforts, there's an outside chance that the Dems could pick up a vital #Senate seat this year. (And it doesn't hurt that the TX GQP has been tearing itself apart, thanks to #abbott overreaching on school vouchers, & #kenPaxton & Dan Patrick trying to primary any republiqans to the left of Himmler)

Whip Abbott & whip him good! Crack that whip!

Beto O'Rourke w/ a swell idea over on s. If a problem comes around, you must whip it.

"Governor Abbott is using the Texas Guard to defy a Supreme Court ruling and stoke a constitutional crisis.
When Governor Faubus did this in 1957, Ike federalized the Arkansas Guard to ensure compliance w/ the law. Pres. Biden must follow example of bold, decisive leadership to end this crisis before it gets worse."

#Texas #Beto #Devo

A new #Texas Senate race poll shows #tedCruz tied with 2 formidable Democratic challengers, raising alarm bells for the two-term republiqan.

An Emerson College survey found Cruz at 42% among likely voters in a hypothetical matchup with U.S. Representative #ColinAllred, who had 40% support. In a matchup with Texas State Senator #RolandGutierrez, 41% said they would vote for Cruz and 40% said Gutierrez.

Shout out to #Beto for his work building up GQP opposition statewide!

Can Georgia show Texas the way to purple?

Texas Democrats should realize that turning a Southern red state purple — if possible — takes time, organization and money.
