Jill Biden to campaign in Houston as polls hint at tight presidential race in Texas

When early voting starts on Tuesday, Jill Biden will be in Texas hoping to boost turnout for the Democratic presidential ticket led by her husband, former Vice President Joe Biden.

Democratic sources say Jill Biden will make stops in Houston, Dallas and El Paso, although exact times and locations have not been released.

The Joe Biden campaign has begun to invest more heavily in Texas as polls show a closer-than-usual race in the Lone Star State.

Earlier this week, the campaign launched a TV ad blitz aimed at voters in San Antonio and El Paso. On Monday and Tuesday, Doug Emhoff, husband of Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, campaigned along the Texas border and in San Antonio and Dallas.

I'm glad that the Bidens are not ignoring Texas, but it's still an uphill race.

The three that I know of in Texas are the UT/Texas Tribune poll, the UT-Tyler poll which seems less reliable, and the Lyceum poll which occurs only once a year and they had their poll while there were still other active Democratic candidates in the primary.
