AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa issued the following statement:

“Texas is the battleground of battlegrounds – and we’re elated to host the first Presidential debate of the 2024 General Election right here in the heart of Texas at Texas State University. Last year, Texas Democrats worked vigorously to flip Hays County blue – largely with the help of student organizers at Texas State – and this historic debate will only further our mobilization efforts to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Texas is in play for Democratic electoral success, and we look forward to heading to San Marcos to cheer on President Biden next September. Go Bobcats!”
