CNN’s data guru said the closely watched primaries in Texas yielded a “tremendous” turnout for one party and a “dumpster fire” for another.
Harry Enten said 2.3 million Democratic voters in Texas came out for the hotly contested Senate primary between State Rep. James Talarico and House Rep. Jasmine Crockett, marking the highest-ever turnout at more than twice the average this century, with only 92 percent of the estimated vote in so far.
“This beats the old record, which was 2.2 million, and that was in a presidential primary year between Obama and Clinton, and this beat it,” he said Wednesday. “Democrats are really enthusiastic. As I said, the word to describe this is ‘tremendous.’”
