33. Texas will turn blue

Sun Jun 4, 2023, 12:45 PM

Jun 2023

There are a good number of die hard Democrats working to turn Texas blue. Greg Abbot and the Texas GOP are working hard to stop this process. There are some demographic trends that make me smile. Texas is becoming less rural and more urban/suburban. The GOP strenght is in rural areas. Texas is becoming younger and more liberal as older GOP voters are dying off.
