Texas is now at 90% of its total 2016 turnout.

Over 8.1 million have voted so far. In 2016, 8.9 million total voted and Hillary lost by 800,000 votes. Some people say if the total reaches at least 10.5 million votes, Biden is likely winning Texas.

But he's doing far worse in the Texas suburbs. Democrats can win this state. Either way, it'll be close.

If we get to 155 million this election, those extra 18 million people that voted will be 90% for the challenger.

How many more votes will Trump get? He has not expanded his base at all.
