Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 1:20Gavito reports strong Latino early voting and connects grocery costs with voters' response to anti-corruption messages.
  2. 2:40Menendez and Selvig examine Trump's and Talarico's competing Texas rallies.
  3. 3:47Selvig says living costs and gas prices feature more prominently than border issues in his conversations with Trump supporters.
  4. 5:16Traylor reports hesitation about Paxton among some Trump rally attendees in Corpus Christi.
  5. 6:06Trump supporters Dominic and Kara Farley discuss Paxton and Talarico's support in Texas.

Even among the Trump supporters interviewed in Corpus Christi, 's campaign is getting attention. "I've honestly been shocked coming down here to see how much support Talarico gains in Texas," Kara Farley tells MS NOW's reporter.

That observation sits alongside the central argument in Alicia Menendez's panel discussion: economic frustration could matter as much as party loyalty in the Senate contest between Democrat Talarico and Republican .

Way to Win co-founder Tory Gavito reports strong early voting among Latinos and argues that voters are connecting their household budgets with anti-corruption campaign messages. "They're connecting the dots. They realize they can't afford groceries," she says. Her assessment supplies the turnout angle in the video's title, rather than a settled prediction of the result.

The segment drew roughly 686,000 views in nine hours, a much faster start than MS NOW's usual regular-length upload.

Comedian Jason Selvig of The Good Liars brings another perspective from conversations with Trump supporters: living costs and gas prices are coming up ahead of border issues. Reporter Jake Traylor, meanwhile, finds some hesitation about Paxton among people who have waited hours to see Trump.

MS NOW is also carrying Talarico's Lubbock rally separately. Here, the focus is on what the competing campaign events reveal beyond the size of the crowds.
