James Talarico vuelve tras gripe y expone su política en foro de Texas

El candidato demócrata al Senado James Talarico presentó sus propuestas sobre una opción de salud pública, una estrategia energética "todo-lo-que-existe" y el apoyo a Ucrania durante un foro en Texas, informó CNN. Anteriormente en la campaña, Talarico estuvo ausente durante aproximadamente dos semanas tras contraer gripe, un lapso que el fiscal general republicano Ken Paxton y el presidente Donald Trump usaron para cuestionar su actividad de campaña, según CNN. NBC News señaló que la ausencia generó críticas de Paxton y reacciones mixtas dentro del partido.

Más tarde reapareció en el festival Austin City Limits, regreso confirmado por su campaña y reportado por CBS News y USA Today. En una entrevista posterior, Talarico explicó que la ausencia se debió a la influenza y desestimó especulaciones sobre tratamientos alternativos, según CNN. Imágenes de cámaras de seguridad divulgadas por su campaña mostraron que estuvo en su casa en Austin mientras se recuperaba, informó CBS News, desmintiendo rumores de que había viajado fuera del estado para recibir tratamiento.
