Scott Braddock Mulls Over Dems Flipping Nine House Seats - Do I Agree?

Analyzing the Odds: Can Texas Democrats Make a Legislative Breakthrough in 2024?

Last week’s episode of Texas Take with Scott Braddock and Jeremy Wallace got into the nitty-gritty of what we might see regarding Democratic performance in the Texas House in the November election.

(You can listen to the full episode here.)

As Texas Democrats, we reach for hope as we trudge through each election cycle. There are many legitimate reasons to be optimistic. Last week’s episode of Texas Take mostly validated what I’ve been saying for months, but I want to talk specifically about the points Braddock made and shine more light on some of the races Democrats need to focus on for the Texas House.

The most important thing to remember in the fight for sanity in Texas is that if the Texas House flips, we end the Republican agenda. We need to flip 12 seats to flip the House. Could we do it this election? Anything is possible, but we might also come under that number, giving Republicans a razor-thin majority.
