## Resource

Former President Obama dropped by Austin for a taco stop with rising Texas Democrats James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa — a low-key moment that’s turning into a major boost for Talarico’s Senate campaign. With Ken Paxton locked in as the GOP nominee, Talarico’s already on fire: he’s hitting the road, raising $3 million in one day, and now leads in early polls at 47% to 44%. Backed by endorsements like the Houston Chronicle and a relentless “corrupt” narrative against Paxton, Talarico’s campaign is heating up — and this Texas Senate race is suddenly one of the most watched in the country.
