Texas U.S. Senators

Now that the dust has settled on the primary, recent polling has found most Republican voters have moved on and plan to vote for Paxton, with a clear shift from earlier surveys conducted in the heat of the bruising primary. Still, Talarico has held on to a chunk of support from moderate Republicans.

Recent polling from The Texas Politics Project suggests Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico is performing better with Black voters than his predecessors were at this point in their campaigns.

Calling into Gov. Greg Abbott's guest-hosted Hannity radio show, the Republican senator said Talarico is "charming" enough to win over voters "who may not be paying close attention to the issues."

Now permitted to spend freely in coordination with GOP candidates, national Republican committees can use their flush war chests to help candidates like Paxton close fundraising deficits.

The outgoing lawmakers have cast doubt on whether their respective primary opponents, Ken Paxton and James Talarico, can win in November.

The attorney general has won statewide elections twice since his legal woes began. This time he will be at the top of the ticket, facing a fundraising juggernaut in James Talarico.

Texas Republicans spread message of unity ahead of November midterms.

Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton for nearly a decade in two high-profile cases, said his former client "has lost sight of his core mission."

James Talarico says he's not vegan — but rising price of beef may force more Texans to give up meat.

Paxton’s blowout win on Tuesday compelled an alliance by necessity, if not natural synergy, between the attorney general and the Washington groups that spent months trying to elect John Cornyn.
