Beto O’Rourke: ‘Texas Could Possibly Be in Play’ for Kamala Harris

Pam Key 12 Aug 2024

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that Vice President Kamala Harris could possibly win the state of Texas in November.

Host Jen Psaki said, “I want to ask you, you’ve seen a lot of presidential candidates run. Vice President Harris and Tim Walz are clearly creating a lot of excitement out there. Do you think this is enough? Is Texas a pipe dream or should people hold their hope out for Texas in 2024 or is it going to take a little longer?”

O’Rourke said, “The thing is you now see Democrats smiling. There is joy in our party. There’s electricity moving through the system. Yes places that I think were written off are now in contention. Three of the most competitive congressional races are in Texas, including Michelle Vallejo in Texas 15. We win those, we might win control of the House of Representatives. The biggest pick up opportunity for Senate Democrats is also in Texas. Colin Allred versus Ted Cruz. I think Harris-Walz raise or increased the chances we’re going to be able to win these races and you know, who knows, but Joe Biden lost Texas by only 5-1/2 points in 2020. It’s been moving faster in the blue column than any other battleground state. Anything I think is possible in this year and with the energy that those two are bringing to this ticket, I think that Texas could possibly be in play.”

Not a chance.

Texas is as much in play for her as New York is for Trump

Normally I would agree.  But .... with these people ... there always a chance!

Robert Francis O'Rourke could possibly be smoking crack.

Texas will go Trump. The last Democrat to carry Texas was Carter in 1976 and Harris is farther left that Carter

So will Florida. But Harris will carry the Miami-Dade area

There's the new talking point. Oh yes, we have joy, joy like we're high on some of that weed that Shamala smoked as she jailed her Californians for the same thing, because there is no substance or leadership or any ability to govern a nation.

But we feel joy. Yeah, joy. F yeah, JOY!

Joy.

Yeah.

He's one of the most brilliant political strategists of our day, I hear. And, possibly, a furry.

    Cruz is currently up over 8% over Allred.  If this holds, which it will, I won't bother voting this election cycle. 

    The Trumpers can't sink Cruz, like they wanted to in 2018, this time.


    Trump will take Texas.

I'm not sure @corbe . Allred is running some pretty enticing ads showing what a centrist he is. I'll go vote. Fear is a powerful thing.

I do the same @corbe . Old movies, westerns and comedies. I just see the ads while watching the news in the morning to see what the weather might be. :laugh:

There are a couple of articles stating that both TX and FL are in play.  Not so sure about TX but FL?? Unless people are holding some sort of grudge against Trump for smearing DeSantis, FL is pretty darn red.

I wonder how much money it would take to convince Beto to move to Cali? I may start a GoFundMe. happy77
