32. Look, I think everyone can agree that Democrats picking up a Senate seat in Texas is a longshot.

There are other States that are much more likely and much more easier for Democrats to flip. But there is something happening there and it is showing up in the enthusiasm and early voting numbers in the primary. Longshot as it may be, I always stay cautiously optimistic and I believe there is a chance to take that seat with Crockett or Talarico as the candidate. Texas Democrats will decide which candidate they will be sending.
