Help make this the year that Texas flips for senate and or for president!
How many votes did we lose by last time?
About 640k votes, 46.5% to 52.1%. It’s a tough hurdle, as he won that same percentage in 2016, although Clinton only had 43.5% and a third party probably ate some of Trump’s votes.
He’ll likely win, but by less. Its a pretty big margin, even if Trump openly pisses on military graves while Harris is a proud owner of a glock.
Note that the Senate race was closer last time in 2018 and is also closer in the polls. In 2018 that was 50.9% Cruz to 48.4% Beto (2.5% margin, ~200k votes)
That’s certainly true. You know, if Texas does flip for Harris I won’t just be overjoyed, I’ll have to reevaluate the whole state (which isn’t Texas fault; literally, all my exes are from Texas-- heartbreak can certainly sour a state!)
Clinton lost by 800,000 votes (5% of registered voters) and Biden by 640,000 votes(3.5% of registered voters). It has been getting much closer. We could flip this year if voter turnout keeps this pace.
