Talarico challenges Paxton in tight Texas Senate race
The Guardian reported on 2 November that Democratic state Rep. James Talarico challenged Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas U. S. Senate race, a contest that could produce the first Democratic senator from the state since 1988. AL. com reported that a CNN/SSRS poll released on 21 October showed Talarico six points ahead of Paxton. USA Today noted that another recent poll also gave Talarico a narrow lead.
Newsweek said more than 4. 5 million Texans had voted early, underscoring the race’s intensity. Fox News said Talarico held a fundraising advantage over Paxton. CBS reported the campaign had become one of the most expensive non-presidential elections in U. S. history. PBS described the race as pivotal for Senate control during President Donald Trump’s term, and CBC added that its outcome could affect the balance of power.
