State of Texas- Is Texas a ‘sleeper battleground state-'

Battleground Texas? – As Democrats prepare for their convention, they’re counting on Kamala Harris to bring new energy to boost their chances in November. But will it be enough to turn Texas into a campaign battleground? We look at why one high-profile Democrat is raising expectations, and why that’s being met with a lot of skepticism.

I’m a 75 year old life long Texan. Always considered myself an independent voter in the past, but I will be voting straight blue in November. There is no longer a middle conservative position and the extreme MAGA views and 2025 plan is in no way compatible with our democracy. So I no longer recognize the Republican Party as an option. Harris/Walz for me!

I am hoping Kamala has coattails & sweeps Cruz out.
In my neighborhood, former Trump voters have Allred & Harris/Walz signs in their yards. I am stunned.
I know people who have driven their children 150 miles for driver's licenses or valid ids.
2 people drove to Houston for passport because it took less time than making appointment with DPS.
Texas requires ids but wait time for appointment is January for many DPS offices.
We need Federal law mandating ids within 30 days so people can vote.

Our young voters should never be underestimated, their voices shall be heard come November!

I'm glad to vote for Colin Allred for US Senate. I'll gladly vote for Kamala Harris while I'm there. I will NOT go to a convention or rally thing. No thank you. I'm not going back.
