Talarico’s 47% to Paxton’s 44% surge is fueled by Cornyn voters disillusioned by Paxton’s legal woes—including securities fraud charges and impeachment. Both campaigns are doubling down: Talarico attacks Paxton’s record, Paxton counters with social issue critiques, while Trump openly backs Paxton. With money pouring in and Cornyn voters now targeted by Talarico, this could be Texas’s most competitive Senate race in decades.
