Hey, it's a Martinez.
Now, real quick before the show, it has been a wild, exciting, exhausting election season.
And in the homestretch, as you continue to follow things here on up first, we want you to know that there are two other ways to make sure you don't miss a development throughout the day.
First, every weekday you can find a new episode of the NPR Politics Podcast with context and analysis on the big stories whenever they happen.
So, like, you get a breaking news alert and you don't know what to think?
Look for the NPR Politics Podcast a few hours now.
Second, consider this is the podcast where NPR covers one big story in depth every weekday evening.
They will be all over this election and its aftermath as well.
So you've got up first in the morning.
Consider this in the evening and the NPR Politics Podcast anytime.
Big stuff happens around the clock.
Election News Survival kit, pretty much from NPR Podcast.
Okay.
Thanks for listening.
Here's the show.
Both presidential candidates are in Texas today.
It's one of the reddest states in the country, but the demographics there are changing.
The population has been surging with people moving here, and it's made the state much younger and much more racially and ethnically diverse.
Could it flip the state's Senate race?
I'm Ian Martinez, and this is up first from NPR News.
