Biden campaign adds more staff in Texas

Joe Biden's campaign is expanding its staff in Texas, bringing on 13 more people as the state continues to look competitive with just over seven weeks to go before the November election.

The Democratic nominee's latest hires, shared first with The Texas Tribune, include several experienced Democratic operatives from the state. They include Dallas Jones, a Houston political consultant who will serve as Biden's Texas political director, and Jackie Uresti and Jerry Phillips, who will each serve as political advisers to the campaign in Texas. Uresti was Hillary Clinton's 2016 state director, while Phillips brings deep experience around Texas House politics and previously was executive director of the House Democratic Campaign Committee.

Good moves. As Beto O'Rourke says, "There is a new battleground and it is Texas". We want to win unequivocally on election night with absolutely no chance of Trump looking to be ahead initially and crying foul about mail-in votes that put Biden over in other states. Winning Texas is the way to do that, since they will count all votes at once. If Biden wins Texas and it becomes a blue State the whole electoral college system might crumble in the next decade, as well.
