## Resource

The Texas Senate race is heating up as Democrat James Talarico ramps up his campaign, attacking GOP incumbent Ken Paxton over legal troubles and calling him corrupt, while Paxton fires back, questioning Talarico’s conservative credentials and rallying GOP unity. Talarico is targeting rural voters, promising to listen and connect across the state, while Paxton leans on Texas’s Republican voting history. With the general election just months away, this could be one of the most pivotal Senate races in the nation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
