This all sounds reasonable, the only thing not mentioned is the risk of enough Trump-loyalist election officials refusing to certify the vote that neither party gets above 270 - throwing it to Congress where Trump wins.
The only defense against it that I’m aware of is to get the popular vote SO FAR in favor of Harris/Walz that Congress won’t be willing to risk their vote being so blatantly opposite and misrepresentative of the will of the people, lest it lead to reform they don’t want.
Yes, that’s what I’ve been saying too. People are still doing swing state math assuming 270 is enough, but Harris is going to need a sizeable margin in order to actually have a defense buffer against these election officials.
Likewise, a blue Texas wouldn’t guarantee the White House for Kamala since they would under no circumstances accept and certify the result. All it would guarantee is a constitutional crisis.

This is definitely a play they’re considering.
