New Hope For Democratic Senate Gains In “Red” States Texas And Florida

The Democratic Party has 47 seats in the US Senate, and with a growing chance to regain the majority.

The hope is that they can gain at least four seats and become the majority.

The two strongly “Red” states of Texas and Florida now are seen as adding to the potential of Democratic majorities in the Senate, and maybe more than just four seats.

Texas polls indicate James Talarico is leading Jasmine Crockett, and the thought that he might be able to win the Democratic nomination, with his “liberal” Christianity view, and a more measured personality than Crockett. This gives hope that he might defeat Senator John Cornyn, or his leading rival in the Republican primary, State Attorney General Ken Paxton.

And now, great news that the state of Florida will have a real race for the US Senate, instead of appointed Senator Ashley Moody having the likelihood of no major challenger.

Former Army Lieutentant Colonel Alex Vindman, who served on the National Security Council under President Donald Trump, announced his candidacy for the Democratic Senate nomination, giving real hope for a possible gain of a Senate seat in the Sunshine State.

Vindman resigned after revealing that Trump tried to bribe Ukrainian Persident Volodymyr Zelenskyy to give “dirt” on Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, leading to the impeachment of Trump by the House of Representatives, although not convicted by the Senate.
