It's up by 200,000 over the last similar race.

Republican turnout's up by, you know, I think about six or eight thousand.

Let's talk about the Senate race.

It's interesting because I think I know where Donald Trump's sentiments lie.

I think he'd be inclined because he's sort of spiritually akin to Ken Paxton.

But Ken Paxton's got a lot of baggage.

And I think Trump is tired of endorsing people who lose.

This has been happening a lot lately where the Trump endorsed candidate does not win.

Let's talk about Democrats running for statewide office.

You've got two major candidates for Senate.

They're different.

They've got different backgrounds, different approaches to things.

They're both very popular.

One of them's got to get 50%.

We're not sure how that'll work, because if you don't get 50% in Texas, you go to a runoff.

It's driving enthusiasm.

Probably a good thing for Democrats to have two good choices.

The Republicans don't have that problem in Texas right now.

And ironically, that's making it full on election season in the whole country because everybody is watching how this is going to play out.

When you can when you're watching in Texas and that Texas is a nail biter, it means the country is in an interesting place.
