I won’t comment much on tonight’s results as they are evolving and ongoing, but I will say we’ve been sounding the alarm about Dem vulnerabilities w/ Latinos for a long, long time.
There is a strategy and a path, but the necessary effort simply hasn’t been put in ⬇️ https://t.co/HljnWYgeju

10:50 PM: Texas: Not just voters of Cuban descent in Florida…
The upshot in TX may well be that while Democrats won big in the suburbs & did well among the small but fast-growing Asian American demographic, they're still clueless when it comes to maximizing the Latino vote, and it'll cost them the state https://t.co/OYSy94A2q1

10:43 PM: Big ifs…
Arizona has always been the X-factor.
If MI & WI both go Biden—as the campaigns have expected—then Pennsylvania takes center stage, right?
Not necessarily. Biden could lose PA and still win the presidency if he wins AZ (plus Maine-2 and Nebraska-2.)

9:50 PM: Could be more trouble for Biden in Arizona and Nevada if he underperforms with Hispanic voters in those states:
Subpar Hispanic #s in RGV may keep Biden from winning TX, but he looks likely to win the 5 big urban counties by 900k+ votes (vs 562 for HRC). He'll win Williamson & Hays outside Austin, run much closer to even in Collin (-11k vs. -60k in 16) & even halve Denton deficit. A path
