Big money and polling numbers suggest Beto O’Rourke, Stacey Abrams and Charlie Crist...
The 2022 governor’s race pitting Republican Gov. Greg Abbott against Democrat Beto O’Rourke is set to become the most expensive campaign in state history, surpassing the $125 million that O’Rouke and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz spent on their 2018 battle for the U.S. Senate.
The last three big public polls in Texas show O’Rourke within 6 percentage points of Gov. Greg Abbott. In Georgia, public polling shows Abrams and Gov. Brian Kemp in a dead heat. And in Florida, Crist, a former Republican governor turned Democrat, is still locked in a competitive primary, but is favored to emerge and challenge Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.“We’re right on track with where we want to be,” said Dave Carney, Abbott’s chief political strategist.
While polling still shows issues like the Supreme Court’s ruling overturning federal abortion protections, and outcry over O’Rourke, a 49-year-old El Paso native, is a former member of Congress and El Paso City Council member. The result is Democrats for governor are going to have to vastly outperform Biden if they are going to have even a chance, Johnson said.Johnson said Trump has already made life more difficult for Republicans in Georgia, where he’s feuded with Kemp, who he blamed for his loss to Biden in Georgia in 2020.Similarly in Florida, Trump has been taking jabs at DeSantis, who has been getting a lot of attention as a possible GOP presidential candidate over Trump in 2024.
