Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Says Texas Turning Blue Is 'Inevitable'

The Spin
Left narrative
Texas' population is becoming more diverse and starting to trend toward Democrats - nearly 300,000 people of color turn 18 in the state every year. Beto O'Rourke now has the opportunity to change Texas' political landscape.
Right narrative
Politicians, even Republicans, have been predicting closer races in Texas for years to no avail for Dems. AOC's faith in changing demographics is misplaced, as GOP members like Trump are now appealing to Hispanic voters in ways that couldn't have previously been predicted.
