But here& #39;s what really matters: Joe Biden benefits from something no other modern Dem presidential nominee has in Texas - reverse coattails. There is an absolute army of downballot Dem candidates running for office in Texas. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/08/texas-democrats-trump-biden/">https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/0...
Biden offers coattails because of his polling. But these candidates in turn offer him a growing GOTV infrastructure and a massive television advertising campaign making the Dem case in some of the most expensive media markets in the country. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/08/texas-democrats-trump-biden/">https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/0...
Rs are not ceding the state, by any means. And we are looking at a ferocious fight in the coming weeks for control of the state House of Reps and even, unthinkably, possibly a majority in the TX Cong delegation (much longer shot than the former for Dems) https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/08/texas-democrats-trump-biden/">https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/0...
