FIRST POST-DEBATE POLL

  Did you see this? Undecided voters  overwhelmingly  sided with Beto after watching him hold Greg Abbott fully accountable during last week's debate.  Check it out: That's a +23 point swing in Beto's direction!  Beto won the debate, but to defeat Abbott in November, we need to keep our momentum going and make sure every Texas voter knows the truth about Abbott's eight years of failures. Beto has the momentum, but we can't let Abbott's special interest cash drown out our message at this critical moment. Please, will you chip in to reach the voters we'll need to win in November, elect Beto, and defeat Abbott? During Friday's debate, Beto held Greg Abbott fully accountable for his dangerous extremism and eight years of failing the people of Texas. The results show that if we can share Abbott's record of failure — and Beto's positive, unifying vision for Texas — with undecided voters, they  will  vote for Beto. Now comes the hard part.  With only 35...

  It's  O ur  D emocracy! Biden to visit Florida and Puerto Rico in wake of Hurricane Ian Today's Top Stories: Marjorie Taylor Greene says Democrats "have already started the killings" of Republicans The Trump-loving, QAnon-espousing congresswoman from Georgia actually accused Democrats of literally plotting to murder Republicans.

Matt Gaetz votes no on relief money as Florida grapples with Hurricane Ian aftermath The embattled congressman from Florida is no stranger to voting against hurricane relief for his own constituents as he previously voted against a $15 billion relief package as Hurricane Irma — where at least 92 people died in the contiguous United States — approached Florida in 2017. Take Action:  Demand Congress pass the Respect for Marriage Act! Doctors. Teachers. Women. LGBT+ kids. The GOP is waging culture war against all of th...

  View in browser   BY  CALDER MCHUGH Presented by Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke speaks at a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas. | Jordan Vonderhaar/Getty Images COVER STORY   — Just a few short years ago, Beto O’Rourke and Stacey Abrams were among the Democratic Party’s shiniest stars, two youthful candidates who electrified their parties even in defeat. While they came up just short in their longshot 2018 bids to win statewide office in Texas and Georgia, respectively, their promise was such that each sparked talk of their prospects on the national stage. They’re back on the ballot again this year — Abrams in a rematch with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, and O’Rourke in a bid to unseat Texas Gov. Greg Abbott — but this time the vibe is different. Both have consistently trailed their opponents in the polls. O’Rourke hasn’t led in a single survey since he announced his candidacy last November, and Abrams is barely doing better. So what changed? W...
