If TX doesn't flip in 2024, it stands a very good chance to do it in 2028. LonePirate May 2023 #2

Having a Texan on the ticket certainly wouldn't hurt and he would likely be a very enticing VP pick for that very reason of helping flip TX or to keep it blue if it flips in 2024.

He needs to win in 2024 first.

Which I don't think he will. We've been talking about how Texas is gonna turn blue for a while. It never happens.

Sheldon Whitehouse and a strong Hispanic vp nominee will win in 2028.
But I doubt we will get that ticket.
