Former Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke is imploring his party’s presidential nominee to visit Texas in a last-minute bid to flip the state blue in the upcoming election.
During an appearance on MSNBC on Tuesday, O’Rourke said he hopes former Vice President Joe Biden would visit the state before the election, “If Joe Biden comes to Texas, and connects the dots for Latino voters, who have been on the front-lines of the cruelty of Donald Trump … for Joe Biden to come here, connect those dots, offer the alternative, would be so energizing, so catalytic for the voters of Texas — especially Latino voters.”
“In the most voter suppressed state in the country, you’re already seeing record turnout, and so much of that is fueled by Black and Latino voters, and voters in communities of color, precisely the ones turning out today with the Texas Organizing Project,” he continued.
Finally, O’Rourke said, “This is Biden’s state to lose, and we’re doing our part in Texas. We would love to see Joe Biden come down here as well.”
