that as well has meant that the conversation has been dominated by what is going on with donald trump and every single day that donald trump is the main subject of political conversation, i think that s a bad day for republicans. so, you have these dual issues of the base of democrats fired up because of the abortion decision in dobbs. and also a reminder to them about the threat of donald trump in 2024. you even have some optimism, i was surprised to hear it, but about beto s chances in the state of texas. especially because of abortion rights. and not just optimism because you re a democrat and he s a democrat, and that s who you like to see is the governor of texas, but because you really could see this as a rallying cry. 60% of folks in texas, as you see on your screens right now, believe that people should have abortion rights in that state. that s right. even in states like texas that people think of as very pro
