The Texas Senate race moved deeper into its closing stretch as Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democratic state Representative James Talarico made competing appeals to voters. The Associated Press reported that President Trump campaigned by telephone for Paxton, whom he has endorsed, while Talarico focused his message on corruption and household economics.
The race is drawing national attention because it tests whether a high profile Republican backed by the president can hold off a Democrat who has built a statewide profile around economic and institutional concerns. The claims in campaign speeches are the candidates’ positions, and voters should consult official election information and multiple reputable reports before drawing conclusions.
