Democrats grow more bullish on Texas
Democrats will go to the polls for their runoff primaries in Texas on Tuesday feeling more optimistic in years that 2020 will be the election that turns the Lone Star State blue.
The party is feeling better and better about its chances in Texas this fall given new polls that show presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in a close race with President Trump.
If that holds out, it could open up more opportunities for the party to win House seats, legislative districts or even a Senate seat.
“This poll shows in the starkest terms yet that Joe Biden will win Texas in November. Texans are sick of the Trump show and want leaders with the empathy and experience to carry them forward,” Manny Garcia, the executive director of the Texas Democratic Party, said in an email to reporters.
A poll showing Biden up 5 points over Trump in the state sent shock waves through the political world on Sunday. The survey, from the Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler, placed Biden up 48 points to 43 points, beyond the poll’s margin of error.
