Texas Democrats release 2020 autopsy

This is the one thing that stood out to me.

Not sure if it's at all possible. They are projecting a 2024 win of 1700 votes. Oddly specific.

While I’m glad this was made public, I still think they are underestimating the massive trend towards Trump by minorities in the state especially in the Rio Grande Valley

There could be a few reasons for this though, especially the incumbency factor

TX hasn't elected a Senator or Gov female since Ann Richards and if the D's want to win TX they must move beyond HEGAR and Valdez, I am warming up to Beto, since the Recession is Receding and Abbott botched Energy crisis if he should run for Gov

But, he said he isn't running

"With sufficient investment and ambition, Texas can be a reliably Democratic state in the next decade."
"We estimate 51% of the voting population are Democrats"
bahahahhahahaha

Not unrealistic since Texas is a majority minority state.

The 2018 census estimate has Texas 41.4% Non-Hispanic White. It's between 30-40% Hispanic, depending on the source.

According to the exit polls, 67% of the voters were White and 13% Latino.
