Monday on MS NOW’s “All In,” former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said voters are excited, so “Texas is going to shock the country” with Democrats wins.
O’Rourke said, “Here in Texas, you know, he’s behind Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for Senate, who is a total train wreck. He is central casting as perhaps the most corrupt villain you could hope to find in the state of Texas.”
He continued, “On the other side is James Talarico, who’s this generational talent who is raising a ton of money, who’s connecting with communities as he travels the state. And he was fighting for things that people care about, making sure that teachers can afford to teach school, that folks can see a doctor, that we end the corruption in D.C. and here in Texas. So I like our odds in this state. And as you played that clip in South Carolina and as you talked about your experience in Maine, I really like our odds across the country.”
He added, “It’s 108 degrees in Arlington, Texas today, and we both had the volunteers out there under the sun, and the students who can connect the dots to what’s happening in this country and this election on November 3. And you better believe they’re going to be out there to vote for James Talarico, Gina Hinojosa, Vikki Goodwin, for every single Democrat up and down that ballot, Texas is going to shock the country.”
