2. Texas will be a battleground state if Biden is the nominee

I and a good number of real democrats are working to turn Texas blue. Romney won Texas by 16%. Trump was held to % and Carnival Cruz won by 3%. After the 2010 election,, the GOP had 101 seats in the Texas house compare to 49 seats for the Democrats which was a super majority. Democrats picked up 12 seats in the Texas house in 2018 and two congressional seats (Lizzie Fletcher and Coin Allred). We need 9 seats to flip the Texas House and the DCCC is targeting 6 seats. Progress was being made before trump but trump may accelerate the conversion of Texas to a battleground state
