Donald Trump to Return to Texas

WASHINGTON — Texas remains largely uncompetitive in the presidential contest, but Donald Trump continues to lean hard on the state in the final stretch of his campaign.

The GOP nominee will return to Texas on Oct. 11 for at least one fundraiser, in Dallas, according to two sources close to the Trump campaign. The goal is to raise $5 million to $8 million during his time in the Lone Star State, one of those sources said. Meanwhile, his campaign is urgently inviting donors and bundlers to raise money at Trump headquarters in New York City next week.

Texas is a perennial top fundraising state in both parties. But Trump's reliance on Texas has escalated after the Republican National Convention. Since late August, Trump has twice raised money in Texas, and two of his children embarked on their own fundraising swings in the state last week.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine was in Houston this week for the same purpose.

Shows their internal polling is not that great... Spending the end stretch in any state that isn't a swing state is a sign of trouble.
