Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit the campaign trail in Texas this weekend where she told the crowd that the Lone Star State flipping blue is ‘inevitable’ while endorsing two Democratic candidates there.
‘Texas turning blue. Inevitable. Inevitable! It will happen. The only question is when,’ the New York progressive representative said on Saturday.
‘We are going to fight for a living wage. We’re going to make sure we unionize the hell out of this state,’ she continued, claiming that their support of Medicare for All, unions and reproductive freedoms all contribute to her backing
Ocasio Cortez, 32, said that she feels if the deeply red state of Texas can flip, then the entire country will follow. Texas is the most populous red state, holding 38 Electoral College votes and 36 representatives in the U.S. House.
The House split of Texas representatives is currently 23 Republican and 13 Democrat.
Interesting question, right? He got 81 million votes and counting! Why worry?
Yes, I think she just said the quiet part out loud.
