And Politico sent Ryan Lizza to Texas to report on what’s really going on in the state:
Texas is officially a toss up according to @CookPolitical. Here’s the full case for and against Biden making a late play there: https://t.co/oZMQMOdWJ1 https://t.co/j2m2SLzujO

But he doesn’t like how the state smells:
I’m staying in Odessa, Texas, tonight. What is that smell here?

We assume he’s smelling oil, which, you know, powers the Texas economy:

As for the race, Sen. John Cornyn is concerned about outside spending from libs:
After early voting in Austin, @JohnCornyn tells reporters the “thing that worries me the most” is late spending blitz by Dem outside groups. “It’s unusual. … We will be outspent by more than 2-to-1.” #TXSEN pic.twitter.com/GgHhp7dUF3

Voter turnout so far is bananas:
TEXAS continues to be a stunner: Texas voters cast more than 8.1 million votes, 91% of total 2016 vote, so far according to data posted on the Texas Secretary of State website Wednesday morning. 6 days until election day.

But experts don’t really know if this means anything or not:
Tell me about it. Everyone scrambling to make sense of what it might mean. https://t.co/5KtkYcGgVp

We’ll find out soon. . .
More than 8.1 million people have already voted in Texas.
That's nearly 91% of the total votes cast in the state in 2016. @longhornderek data: 42% of voters have no voting history in the last 4 primaries and 14% have no general or primary voting history.
So good luck guessing https://t.co/jbkj9ZpNhC— William Joy (@WilliamJoy) October 28, 2020
