Biden is advertising in Texas. That's ominous for Trump.

Joe Biden just rolled out a new television ad that will air in a state that a Democratic presidential candidate has not won in 44 years — Texas. The ad makes no mention of President Trump. It doesn’t show footage of Trump for even one second.

Yet the minute-long spot makes a very powerful case against Trump precisely because it does not do either of those things.

This paradox reflects a particular reading of this political moment by the Biden team — and a fundamental truth about this campaign.

Amid truly extraordinary times — a rampaging pandemic, deepening economic misery, some of the most wrenching civil tensions in a half century — the president of the United States has proved utterly incapable of speaking to the nation about any of it in a manner that demonstrates even a shred of basic humanity.

think a repub would feel the need to advertise in Texas! More spent there, a reliably red state, less to spend elsewhere.
