24. Wouldn't be a good move for him or the party right now.

Texas Senate race is already going to be a hard sell. We already have a GREAT candidate in MJ Hegar, whom Beto has already endorsed and been assisting with her campaign. It would be a bad move for him, and us as a party to start a contentious Democratic Party Primary for that seat at this time.

MJ Hegar’s already drumming up a lot of energy here in Texas in her own right. This is my, personal, reason for being all in on Beto.. Him on the national ticket + her on the Senate could well flip texas and not only give us the Presidency, but as close as the Senate’s going to be this round, could also get Mitch out of the Senate Majority Leader chair.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
