Democrats are facing a tough U.S. Senate map in 2024 so they are eyeing some tough-to-win states for possible pickups, starting with Texas.

I had a discussion last week about how Beto O'Rourke is never coming back from his "hell yeah, we're coming for your guns" comment a few years ago. Never.

So why doesn't he take all his political savvy and be a consultant for the DNC to put up fresh blood in Texas? Beto is really great at connecting with voters at town Halls, he keeps it real and is willing to step up to speak truth to power enough that he keeps it spicy and stays in the headlines, and he's good at traditional political action like fundraising and phone banking. Use all those skills to help someone else up, brother Beto.
