Beto O'Rourke: 卡马拉·哈里斯参选极大地改变了德克萨斯州的政治格局,激发了大批志愿者参与到选民登记和动员工作中,选民参与度显著提高,尤其是在年轻选民群体中。民主党在德州的选情也因此得到改善,虽然难以预测最终结果,但民主党候选人比以往任何时候都更有机会在德州取得突破。此外,他还强调了几个关键的众议院选区,这些选区对民主党在众议院的多数席位至关重要,并特别提到了米歇尔·巴列霍在第15国会选区的竞选,认为她有很大的机会赢得选举。他还对比了科林·奥尔雷德和特德·克鲁兹,认为奥尔雷德的竞选策略更有效,能够吸引更多选民。最后,他还谈到了移民对德州经济的重要性,认为大规模驱逐出境将对德州经济造成灾难性打击。 Claire Dewar: 她赞同贝托的观点,并补充说明了科林·奥尔雷德在德州参议员竞选中的优势,认为他能够吸引中间派选民,并能有效处理边境问题。她还强调了德州共和党内部的腐败和极端化,认为这为民主党提供了赢得更多选民支持的机会。她还谈到了德州经济对移民的依赖,以及大规模驱逐出境将造成的经济损失。 Rick Wilson: 他主要关注德州共和党内部的腐败和极端化,以及这给德州政治带来的影响。他认为,肯·帕克森的腐败行为以及州政府对冬季风暴的无能应对,都损害了共和党在选民中的形象,为民主党提供了机会。他还强调了解决移民问题需要一个切实可行的方案,而不是空洞的承诺。
