"No One Was Paying Attention to Gina Hinojosa a Month Ago. Now Republicans Are Worried":

For example:

With Gina Hinojosa now practically tied with Greg Abbott in #TXGov, one might then assume that Kathy Hochul would be leading Bruce Blakeman in #NYGov by 25 points.

But Hochul only leads by about 10, which for NY in a blue wave feels ‘meh’ at best.

Don’t conflate the states.

And speaking of... the DGA and others are starting to spend money investing on her campaign, as they feel confident about #TXGov. All I can say is this - about time... bsky.app/profile/trum...

Been waiting to see whether the DGA and others would start spending $$$ on Gina Hinojosa.

The fact that they are confirms the viability of #TXGov.

And if Hinojosa wins, she will instantly become a Dem star.

Wise of Beshear and Pritzker to cozy up before 2028.

How do we *know* for a fact that @ginafortexas.bsky.social is closing strong for #TXGov against sinking incumbent Greg Abbott?

Abbott is now *afraid* to appear onstage with Donald Trump. In Texas.

#TXPol: "They want to run an entire campaign saying that I'm too woke ... I plan to spend an entire campaign focused on the fact that working people are too broke ... I'm Gina Hinojosa, my pronouns are mom, Texan, and soon-to-be governor."

Hinojosa is up with a new #TXGov ad.

Gina Hinojosa puts out a new ad hitting Greg Abbott for the spike in data centers under his watch. #TXGov

And honestly the #TXGov poll might be even more shocking than the #TXSen poll.

Nobody expected #TXGov to come online the way it has.

But Gina Hinojosa is running a very strong campaign in the right year.

I know that resources are limited and a lot of Gov races in play, but there is a once-in-a-generation opportunity here.

#TXGov and #FLGov are now Lean R.

This certainly feels like the right move based on all of the evidence we have available.

New clip: Jeezy on the Texas governor race, Texans are getting two very different versions of "I can make living here cheaper." His question for Chuck: after a decade of Greg Abbott, is this a referendum on him, or a choice between two economic visions? #PardonThePolitics #TXGov #BlackSky

Very interesting to see this #TXGOV / #TXSEN poll asking a question on Flock surveillance cameras, which, even in TX, draw broad opposition across every demographic except for self-ID GOP, of whom only a slim majority (53%) approve.

Note: 3/4 of young voters (!) oppose.
