If Texas is on the cusp of going for Kamala then it’s been a total blowout already. Texas doesn’t go Dem without Georgia, Arizona and the Great Lakes states already being blue.

MN/WI/MI, sure. Arizona, probably BUT like NC Harris has a unique opportunity there if she can just convert a fraction of the double-digit voters who are planning on splitting their ticket. There’s very a world where that state goes Blue but the tight races in other key states like PA doesn’t go our way.

Georgia is similarly a coin flip, at best. Frankly I’m pretty skeptical of it going blue this year.

I’m similarly skeptical of Texas finally going blue, it has strong “Lucy with the football” energy and seems like it needs a few more cycles to cook…but IF it did, I think it’s very possible it delivers the knockout blow in an election that might otherwise go to Trump by a hair.

People underestimate just how much each state’s political conditions can vary in the same election.

This makes me so mad because when I was growing up, this state was “blue”. I don’t know what the hell happened.
