Texas Democrats aim to flip the state blue in upcoming elections

This optimism follows decades of Republican dominance, with no Democrat winning a statewide race since 1994. The last close statewide race was Beto O'Rourke's 2018 Senate bid. Current Democratic Senate primary strategies focus on either increasing turnout among disaffected voters or building a broader coalition, neither of which has proven successful in recent Texas Senate races.
