In partisan slugfest, can Chip Roy overcome Trump troubles?
BY AL WEAVER - 10/27/20 12:08 PM EDT
AUSTIN – Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is staring down the fight of his political life as he looks to overcome President Trump's struggles in the suburbs of Texas' capital city and aggressive opposition from Democratic outside groups to win reelection next week.
The freshman congressman is up against Wendy Davis, a former state senator, in what has become one of the most hotly contested House races on the map. But it’s Trump who is the dominant figure in the campaign – as has been the case for much of the past four years – in the ethnically diverse and politically evolving 21st Congressional District.
Roy believes it is both a blessing and curse for his prospects.
"He is mobilizing the hell out of a core group of supporters throughout the district, and he's mobilizing the hell out of a core group of opponents, and what that means is you've got a lot of intensity on both sides of that debate," Roy told The Hill in an interview. "We're trying to figure out how to grow and build that coalition around that intensity, and then figure out how these last two weeks go with respect to those who haven't decided."
"This district is very reflective of the national situation. Why? We're highly suburban in two parts of it. We're urban, suburban and rural," Roy added. "We're all of it in a significant way."
Texas's 21st Congressional District stretches from downtown Austin, through the city's suburbs, to the rural Hill Country, all the way down to north San Antonio, with the fight over undecided voters centered on the latter portion of the district.

Agreed...but it is Austin. I'll be so excited when Barbie and Beto fade away.

What a bad article.
What Trump troubles are there in his district?
Trump won last time and he is not behind in the polls now anyway.
So a stupid idiotic author apparently and should be ignored.

You combine the money spent on Abortion Barbie's loss with the $200 mil spent by Dems in losing efforts in SC and here in Kentucky...the Dems wasted a tremendous amount of money on losing candidates.

Yep, and it proved the author of this terrible article did not know what he/she/it was writing.
