Texas Senate Race Tightens as Talarico Leads Paxton
Original: Texas Senate Race Tightens as Talarico Leads Paxton in Polls
New polling in Texas shows Democrat James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton in the state's US Senate race, with the contest described as tightening. Commenters are weighing what a Democratic lead in a traditionally red state would mean for the 2026 midterms, with many noting Paxton's legal controversies as a possible drag on his candidacy.
Why now: A Democrat leading a statewide race in Texas is a surprising development that could reshape expectations for the midterms.
