AOC’s recent visit to Texas
AOC promises to turn Texas blue in 2022. After AOC’s visit to Texas, AOC is confident that she can turn the state blue in 2022. AOC has visited the state before and now says “we are here for you.” She believes that her visit to this red region will help bring awareness to people there and help turn them Democrat.
Alexandria said that southern states like Texas need to be part of America’s future and not stuck with “painful memories” or “fake news.” AOC also stated that working class Americans aren’t looking to put up walls between each other. AOC believes that her message resonated with many Texans at her rally.
However, some believe her trip could have been better timed as immigration remains a hot topic in the state. AOC’s visit has been compared to Obama’s trip to Chicago in March 2015. AOC also spoke in Chicago some years later. AOC said she is here for the people and to “bring Texans’ values back to America.” AOC admitted that Democrats have a long road ahead of them. Her visit will help turn Texas blue by 2022 which AOC believes it will happen. AOC isn’t stopping there. She plans on visiting Iowa, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and other states that were won by Trump.

Why Texas is a key state for the Democrats in 2022
Texas is a state where Democrats have struggled to win in recent years. However, the 2018 election showed that with the right candidate, winning Texas will be possible. One of those candidates was Rep Ocasio-Cortez, who won her congressional district by almost 20 percentage points. This is why Texas is likely to swing blue during the 2022 elections.
AOC (Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) won her New York congressional district. That proves it’s possible for Democrats like her to win Texas if they try hard enough. The key will be mobilizing more young voters and people of color; groups of voters less likely to vote but more democratic in their leanings.
Republicans have a stranglehold on Texas, but this might be about to change with the right candidate and national push. The change will need to come from Texas in order to succeed nationally, however.
Only Texas can turn Texas blue.
Democrats have struggled to win Texas for years now, but 2018 showed it’s possible with the right candidate. However, Texas is still very much Republican-leaning. Democrats need Texans at home mobilizing voters who are unaware of what’s going on in politics.
The 2022 election will make or break the next ten years of Democratic policies; Democrats must win Texas if they want to be able to pass laws and block Republican-led initiatives.
Democrats must win Texas in order to govern for the next ten years. Texas will need national backing if it’s going to happen.

What AOC plans to do to turn Texas blue in 2022
In what is sure to be a seismic shift in the political landscape, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced plans to turn Texas blue in 2022. In an interview with the New York Times, AOC said that she plans to spend time in the Lone Star State.. She will campaign for progressive candidates up and down the ballot. “Texas is our biggest opportunity to flip a state in the next election,” she said. “We’re going to put all our resources into turning Texas blue.”
Ms. AOC plans on campaigning in Texas during the 2022 primaries. She said she “will literally be like, You can’t make me leave” while speaking to students at Ohio University. AOC is participating in building a grassroots campaign with her Justice Democrats PAC along with other progressive groups. AOC wants to support progressives running for Congress regardless of their race, gender or generation so that conservatives cannot win Texas districts uncontested any longer.
She also vows to champion the issues important to millennial voters such as student loan debt and climate change. AOC thinks that since democrats took back Congress in 2018 millennials will realize their political power meaning they could become more engaged in 2022.
AOC went to Texas this past weekend and campaigned for a number of progressive candidates. The Houston Chronicle endorsed Beto O’Rourke for Texas governor in the 2022 primary. Texans are already noticing the blue in the 2022 primary and having AOC in Texas will definitely bring more people to vote.
AOC to give Schumer a run for his money
Ocasio-Cortez, who stunned the political world when she ousted Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.), the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, in a primary last year, is no stranger to tough fights. She has already said she will run for Senate in 2022 against incumbent Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
“Texas is our biggest priority right now because it’s so big and there are so many people living under Republican rule with absolutely no hope,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with the online news outlet The Intercept. “We need to take back the House, the Senate, and the governor’s mansion in Texas if we want to start implementing policies that actually help people.”
Republicans, Here she comes!
A recent AOC tweet stated, “I have a message for Republicans: Don’t come to NYC. It’s not safe for you here anymore. And this is just the beginning. We are organizing and coming for all of you next year – when we take back the House & Senate! Let us show you what democracy looks like!” A Twitter user responded, “Hey AOC I live in Texas… Can yall come down and help turn our state blue so that my kids don’t have to leave home? Asking for a friend..” The New York Congresswoman replied with a simple yet powerful statement: “Yes. We will turn Texas blue in 2022.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has announced that she will be working to support Texas Democrats in their bid for the state’s House and Senate seats during the next election cycle. AOC made her announcement via a Tweet, stating: “Texans deserve representation that is on their side — not Big Oil & Gas.” AOC also added that she and other progressive members of Congress were already preparing for the upcoming elections by identifying candidates who could potentially flip key races. A group of Democratic representatives from both California and New York have signed onto AOC’s plan to turn blue some traditionally red states like Texas through grassroots organizing efforts. AOC explained that the plan is to “create a pipeline of young, diverse progressive leaders who can run at every level in our country.” AOC’s district covers parts of Queens and the Bronx, with over 500K constituents.
