Ok?
Lets NOT get crazy….
Harris will be Texas for a campaign stop….
But?
She ain’t winning Texas……
(Even though Democratic voting numbers have climbed…..)
Cause?…..If THAT WAS to happen?
Trump couldn’t win no matter what he did…..
Could Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz be in trouble though?
Record numbers of Texans turned out Monday for the first day of early voting — numbers that were particularly concentrated in several of the state’s blue-leaning urban and suburban counties.
With national attention drawn to the close race between incumbent Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) and his challenger, Democratic Rep. Colin Allred, the first polls in the state opened early Monday.
About 125,000 turned out to vote in Harris County, home of Houston — half again as many as turned out in the general election of 2016, the last year for which there are statistics from the Texas secretary of state.
Travis County, the home of Austin, broke records with 46,600 people showing up on the first day, which the county clerk said topped first-day voting in the last three elections.
Nearly 47,000 people voted in Bexar, the home of San Antonio, where some voters waited for more than two hours in line to vote.
Turnout was also up well over 2016 levels in more purple, suburban counties like the Houston suburbs of Fort Bend and the Dallas suburb of Collin County.
These rising numbers can be explained in part by the fact that there are a lot more Texans than there used to be — a function of both the state’s high birthrate and migration from other states. Between 2016 and 2024, Texas’s population grew by 15 percent….

For all the polling, “we don’t know what the unlikely voters are going to do,”[ Joshua Blank of the Texas Politics Project (TPP) at the University of Texas] Blank said.
The narrowing gap separating Cruz and Allred in recent polling has fueled Democrats’ hopes that this election could represent a breakthrough for the party in Texas.
In a reflection of the tight race, Vice President Harris announced Tuesday that she would rally in Harris County on Friday with Allred — an unexpected stop in a whirlwind campaign tour largely focused on more traditional swing states, such as Georgia and Pennsylvania, as The Hill reported…..
