“ITexas will turn blue, the question is only if it will happen now. “Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer Prize Winner for The soaring towers, who dedicated the beauty to his state God save texas(NR Edizioni), has been repeating it for some time, but these days he is in awe of the early voting numbers. “In Travis County, where I live, 97% of those eligible to vote have registered, virtually all of them. Across the state, which also has a reputation for low turnout, more votes have already been cast than in 2016, despite obstacles from politicians, despite the attorney general endangering the health of voters by banning the obligation of a mask to the seats “.

What surprises you the most about these numbers?
«The participation of the boys. Texas is a very young state, but those under 30 have never been a big factor, as we now lead the country in terms of youth vote, which alone can make a big difference. There is an energy that I have never seen. The data collected also tells us that the highest participation is registered in democratic cities, and I do not see a great mobilization among Republicans. The demographics of the state are changing as a result of internal immigration: newcomers are mostly progressive, although there are also Republicans attracted by low taxes.
Beto O’Rourke, who nearly snatched one of the two state Senate seats from Republicans in the midterm elections, criticized Biden’s campaign for not investing enough in Texas.
“It is the same reproach that the Republicans make to Trump. Neither party nationwide has paid much attention to Texas thus far. Republicans were convinced they had the state in their pocket and Democrats are still burned out since 2018 when they thought Beto could beat Ted Cruz (he lost by 2.5 points, North Dakotar). Michael Bloomberg decided at the last minute to invest a lot of money here, as well as in Florida.

Kamala made several speeches with you on Friday and launched a commercial that says “We can change Texas …” (We can change Texas).
“Yes, it went down to the Mexican border: It has always been the dream of Texas Democrats to get Hispanics to vote en masse, but the truth is that Latinos are an unreliable demographic for progressives. They are a very different group within themselves, and abortion is a big problem for them. On the other hand, Hispanics have been disproportionately affected by the virus, and this could count, because I believe that this election will be a referendum on Covid.
Could Biden’s promise during the latest green transition debate hurt him in the state of oil and gas?
“Yes, but it had less impact on public opinion than I thought. Basically, people know that Democrats are in favor of transitioning to alternative energy sources, no wonder. But certainly there are also those who are concerned about their work.
What happens on the 4th if Biden is found to have succeeded in the miracle in Texas?
“An atomic bomb explodes within the Republican Party, because without Texas, conservatives have no way to get to the White House. Republicans have done a terrible job preparing for a future that may be closer than they thought. The Party will have to reconfigure itself around the America in which it lives: the greater weight of minorities, inequalities, health problems … “
What will Trump do in case of defeat?
“I hope that the result is clear so that a chaotic period of legal challenges does not open, files examined one by one, the national guard on alert. The increase in gun purchases demonstrates the level of concern and anxiety about possible violence. It’s a very special choice: People vote as if their future and America’s depend on it. And so it is.
