As Trump falters, Democrats and Biden eye an elusive prize: Texas

- As polls show Texans increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump’s response amid a massive resurgence in coronavirus cases, Democrats say they have a real chance to turn a long-held dream into reality: winning the state’s presidential contest for the first time in more than four decades.

With polls showing Biden holding a national lead over Trump and effectively tied in Texas, Democrats say a concerted effort in the state could expand his viable paths to the White House. “We welcome the Biden campaign to light their money on fire by investing in the Lone Star State,” she said in a statement.

The stakes in Texas are enormous: Its 38 votes in the Electoral College, which determines the presidential winner, are second only to California in the quest for a 270-vote majority. “There’s real change happening here,” said U.S. Representative Colin Allred, a Democrat who flipped a Republican-held seat near Dallas two years ago. “I’ve told them I think they should compete here.”In an interview, Biden’s deputy states director, Molly Ritner, said the campaign’s modest $65,000 ad buy in July was prompted by the spike in Texas’ coronavirus infections.

“He just visited Texas, and he got off the plane without a mask,” she said of Trump. “I’ve always said that I’m very, very Republican, but he’s starting to turn me away.”

That’s a lie.

Where would the US be without Trump's rapid response?

Texas is dying. And Trump doesn't care. Trump thinks money to the white people living will make them forget their dead family members. I think in Texas, Blood runs thicker than oil or money.

That would be the result of mail in voting fraud

Congratulations Reuters! You are close to catching up to the New York Times as being the most unreliable source for news. Keep the propaganda rolling in!

Its funny there is always a spike in CoronaVirus cases if it only helps the Maoist Communist agenda to overthrow the Republic of the United States with it's cancel culture of American History. Is Reuters working for the Kurmer Rouge ?

Desperation samba! Lol

Dream on

Trump keeps making texans look dumber each day just like he is.

Down home JOE can handle a crisis much better than UPTOWN TRUMP! 😡🤬😱🤯

Sure.

In November Texans will come home to the party of Lyndon Johnson, Lloyd Bentsen, Jim Wright, Jack Brooks, Ann Richards, and Barbara Jordan!

I don't know, we are talking about Texans but who knows.
