Super PAC launches to help Joe Biden win Texas
A new super PAC is launching Friday to help Joe Biden win Texas as the state looks increasingly like a battleground in November.
The group, Blue Texas PAC, is coming as it remains unclear how much Biden's campaign will invest this fall in Texas, where poll after poll shows a close race between the former vice president and President Donald Trump.
"For decades, progressives in Texas have fought to turn Texas blue," the group's co-founder, Kim Taylor, said in a statement. "We have never had a better opportunity. Blue Texas has a clear focus: to flip Texas in 2020. We are a Texas born, Texas-bred campaign that intends to raise the funds and communicate with voters to get rid of Donald Trump in November."
Several prominent figures and Democratic operatives have signed on to the effort, the details of which were first shared with The Texas Tribune. Participants include Jim Hightower, the populist icon, Bernie Sanders surrogate and former agriculture commissioner, as well as Michael Bennett, the former Dallas Cowboys player and outspoken social justice advocate.
