57 Days Until The Filing Deadline - How Many Republicans Are Still Unopposed?

Countdown to 2024: Identifying Opportunities for Democratic Candidates in Texas.

https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/57-days-until-the-filing-deadline


Around the country, there have been 31 elections this year, and 25 of them have swung toward Democrats. Not only that, Democrats are massively overperforming their baseline. Now, we have 400 days left until the 2024 election, which is a long time for Democrats to screw things up, but based on the momentum we’re seeing around the country, things are looking good for Texas.


On top of that, the GOP Civil War is depressing its base, causing moderate Republicans to swear off the GOP once and for all.

If all of the current trends hold through the year, in 2024, we will see a massive underperformance from Texas Republicans and an overperformance from Texas Democrats. This is excellent news!

But we have to have candidates on the ballot for Democratic voters to vote for. Not all of these seats will be flippable, but the more Democrats on the ticket, the more motivated the voters will be.

The filing deadline for the November 2024 election is on December 11.
