   Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told a Texas crowd Saturday that it   
   is inevitable that Texas will turn blue as she endorsed two candidates for   
   Congress prior to the primary next month.   
      
   Ocasio-Cortez, who has had mixed results when endorsing candidates, was in   
   San Antonio to support the campaigns of Jessica Cisneros and Greg Casar.   
   MySanAntonio.com reported that Ocasio-Cortez told the crowd that the two   
   have her backing because they back Medicare for all, unions and   
   reproductive freedom.   
      
   "Here’s what’s exciting about Jessica’s race and Greg’s race…is that if we   
   flip Texas, we flip the country. She continued, "Texas turning blue is   
   inevitable. The only question is when. We are going to fight for a living   
   wage, we are going to make sure we unionize the hell out of this state…and   
   we’re going to make sure that not one dime is made exploitatively across   
   any worker, especially the undocumented."   
      
   Ocasio-Cortez did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox   
   News.   
      
   The New York representative is not the first politician to imagine a world   
   where the Republican Party loses Texas’ crucial 38 electoral college   
   votes, which is a nightmare for the party. In September 2019, Sen. Ted   
   Cruz, R-Texas, said the state would be close in the 2020 presidential   
   election. (Former President Trump carried the state, winning 52.1% to   
   President Biden’s 46.5%)
