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.

I don't either.

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.

Right.

So you can compare now to 2022.

Democrats are doing well.

The Republicans are not.

Or you can compare Democrats, Republicans right now and Democrats doing better.

But even Democrats do better as a state with more Republicans.

So they should be doing better and they are not.

So Democrats are fired up.

Like we know Republicans are more same day voters, all of that.

But there is plenty of evidence that Democrats are very, very fired up.

And that is good news.
