Based on what I'm seeing right now TX is Safe R for Senate.

Currently without Houston or South Texas, though admittedly without many R-Rurals Dems are only down 50K to Rs. Not bad.

Highly competitive race for both sides in TX 21 right now. Almost a perfect split on the dem side.

I just think Beto's performance is really underwhelming considering all the media coverage he's got, he should at least crack 70+. And he represents a heavily Latino district he should be doing better in those areas.

Coverage on atlas =/= coverage in Texas. Most people in primaries tend to be older and mostly watch TV for news, and Beto has done no advertising on TV.
But he's gotten drooling profiles from CNN, wapo, and NYT. All the makings of a Wendy Davis

Wendy did not run in a dem friendly year and was running aganist a popular opponet. Both things are not true about Beto

Surprised you weren't racing to post his original tweet:

So far, this isn't actually that dominant a primary performance from Beto O'Rourke. Obviously he'll win without a runoff, but he's at 55% right now.

Will King County cast any votes for Dems? It was the most Trump county in the country?

Well, it's a name-recognition thing. Ads (or lack thereof) have an effect.

In the ever interesting TX-07, it is currently Fletcher in the lead followed by a close race for second.

My theories on why Beto is underperforming. Low name ID and low info voters, Latinos voting for a Hispanic name.

Yeah, I'd never heard of Kimbrough before today, but he's pulled in 20,000 votes so far.

He's a retired postal worker

Well, he was a senior manager in engineering for the U.S postal service.
