But this is a, the post reveals what is obvious in the electoral data we've seen so far this year.
Democrats are incredibly fired up.
Republicans are depressed.
And swing voters are looking for Democrats.
That is what we saw in that special election in Texas.
And if you don't want to believe a post-ABC Ipsos poll, just look at what's happening in Texas right now in the early vote.
So there's a day or two left in early voting.
As of Wednesday night...
In the Democratic primary, early votes cast are 163% of what they were in the 2022 election, Democratic primary.
Now, you may say to yourself, I don't remember a particularly competitive Democratic election in 2022 in Texas.
But here's what I will tell you.
There is an incredibly contested Republican primary happening right now, which has had tens of millions of dollars spent in the air.
I think there might have been $100 million spent in that race already.
And Democrats have cast, in Texas, a state Donald Trump won by almost 14 points.
Democrats have cast 140,000 more early votes than Republicans as of Wednesday.
Um, maybe, but, but the Republicans are also trailing their pace from, so you can look at this.
So you can compare now to 2022.
Democrats are doing well.
