πΊπΈπ³β‘οΈ- RN's Midterm Forecast With A Week And A Half To Go 2/3: Although we have James Talarico winning in Texas it is still entirely possible that Ken Paxton can win, the early voting numbers have been getting better for the GOP in the state however surveys are showing that a sizable chunk of Republicans in Texas will be voting for Talarico. Anecdotally on the ground however there are not nearly as many Talarico signs or bumper stickers seen around as there were for Beto Oβ Rourke in 2018 which saw the closest a Democrat has come to winning in years. Even though Trumpβs campaign arms and Elon Musk have pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the election at the 11th hour this spending seems to have not moved the needle in any meaningful way. However as said before this money going into Get Out The Vote efforts will help the GOP come election day.
