GOP “Texodus” Spurs Trump To Schedule Dallas Rally

Axios reports:

The retirement of six House Republicans from Texas at the end of this term shows their pessimism about winning back the House majority in 2020, GOP strategists tell Axios — and foreshadows bigger Republican fears in the nation’s second most populous state.

“We need a new Republican Party because the one we have is getting our asses kicked in House races,” one Texas GOP strategist, who works with various campaigns and asked to speak anonymously to be candid, told Axios.

President Trump will rally in Dallas on Oct. 17 to celebrate “the good news of the Trump economy” and “vast” accomplishments, his campaign announced Monday night. “Texodus” has entered the lexicon — a term Democrats coined to describe the subsequent retirements of the state’s GOP House members.
