CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, said yesterday that Democrats are voting in the state’s primaries at a higher rate than Republicans—something that has not occurred in over two decades.
Enten said the development has left him “mind blown.”
CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, revealed Wednesday that Democrats are voting in the state’s primaries at a higher rate than Republicans—something that has not occurred in over two decades.
Enten said the difference between ballots cast “hasn’t been close” since 2002. The shift also comes as Democrats have massively overperformed in off-year and special elections since President Donald Trump ushered in utter chaos when he retook office in January 2025.
“What a shift from where we were four years ago,” Enten continued. “At this point, more people in Texas are picking up the Democratic ballot.”
And in other news, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett has a double-digit lead over state Rep. James Talarico in the final days of Texas’ Senate Democratic primary, according to a new University of Texas poll released yesterday.
