Doug Emhoff to Lead San Antonio Rally Amid Texas Fundraising Push

Emhoff's visit highlights Democratic efforts in Texas as both presidential campaigns focus on fundraising in the state.

  • Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will campaign in San Antonio on Monday, participating in a 'Freedom to Vote' rally organized by Texas Democrats.
  • Emhoff's visit is part of a broader fundraising effort, with events also planned in Houston and Austin.
  • Texas, while not a battleground state, remains a significant source of campaign funds for both parties, with Trump and Harris raising millions from the state.
  • The rally comes weeks after controversial raids by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office on the homes of Latino election activists, which Democrats and civil rights groups have condemned as voter intimidation.
  • Prominent Texas Democrats, including U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro and former HUD Secretary Julián Castro, are expected to speak at the rally, showing unified support for the coordinated campaign.
