More interested in the massively "****ed up" gerrymandered districts around Austin. Yea this one is also pretty screwy made, but the incumbent only won by 4 percentage points last election, so it is not exactly a solid GOP seat. Now if the Austin districts start to flip, then the GOP got a problem.

Texas Congressional District 3 is the most conservative district in Texas... It's the Dallas northern suburbs...

Not if you look at the last election. Van Taylor only won by 54% to 46%. If that goes for "solid conservative" in Texas, then the problem is way bigger. Now the 1st district is "solid" GOP district.
However as I said, the GOP has to be worried if districts like the 10th, 21st and 25th start to flip in unison, since they have be specifically designed as safe GOP seats and to curb Democratic power from Austin. I mean the 10th is sooooo ****ed up as it stretches from Austin to Huston!
But yes, if district 3, and 10, 21 and 25 flip in Texas then the GOP and Trump is in trouble big time.

Very interesting. The 25th was won by 9 points in 2018 by the incumbent over the same challenger. If that is down to 2 points.. then wow. Of course lots can happen in 2 months.
The 21st district win margin was only 3 points in 2018 so it flipping was with in range already back then. It is the growth in population in Austin and San Antonio that is slowly flipping that district so this might be the year. Guessing they will be redistricted next year or so, so that the GOP will win again.

Assuming this holds true. I rather suspect that many voters will switch back to republican after this election. It's not that Biden is fantastic, it's that Trump revolts their Republican sensiblities, even though he's running as a republican
