Yeah, the AP hasn’t called this yet. Talarico may be heavily favored to win, but there’s still a slim chance this doesn’t go his way.
Just hold on until we get some better reporting.
(Also wtf is decision desk hq, and why are they wanting me to pay for “pro”?)
Edit: NBC called it for Talarico as others have mentioned, I’m still waiting for AP, but it’s looking good for Texas! (Also Texas legislative is looking up for grabs too - at least their house).
CNN just called it
NBC called out for talarico just now
Ap called it!
AP has called it at this point. Hinojosa too!
As of 5 minutes ago, Dems have 51 confirmed senate seats.
NBC just called it
I’m becoming excited for Talarico but it’s the state top seats that I’m most hopeful for. Yes, Senate is important but Texas governor, Lt Governor, and similar are just as important for the future of the state itself
They all turned blue
Nebraska just proved it’s not better than Kansas, Iowa or Texas. I hate my fkn state. Western NE always fucks us
I know! I was worried that down ballot wouldn’t follow the trend that Talarico was making but as the night went on and then Abbott conceded, it made me just so happy
We haz them too!!! 😆
