Republicans are facing an unexpectedly tough battle in Texas as Democrats seek major gains in the 2026 US midterm elections. The biggest contest is the Senate race between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton. Talarico hopes to become the first Democrat elected to the US Senate from Texas since 1988. With immigration, rising living costs and Donald Trump's policies shaping the campaign, can Democrats break the Republicans' decades-long dominance in Texas?
PRESENTER:

The lady is clearly a cult member
No way that’s supposed to be James talarico in the thumbnail
Come on Texas!! We got this!!💙💙🎉
Loved that first journalist 😂❤ he made it look so fun and exciting to keep watching
Talarico is synonymous with unity, respect and hope.
The two 8-second cases were amazing. GOP Dude "Vote Paxton because you love Trump!" Dem Dude "Vote Talarico because he has integrity." Like, I mean, there is a clear winner between those two, and it ain't the GOP dude!
Paxton's not even a Texan
Latinos blue
Jenny, turn on your brain for once. It won’t kill you.
idk if its denial or just straight up delulu but the lady clearly sounds like a cultist. I love how she says groceries were expensive 8 years ago... why wasn't gas cheap 8 years ago... 8 years ago was 2018... which was 2 years into Trump 1. Step up Texas flip your state!! 💙💙💙
The Republican lady in cowgirl boots and red dress, looking good but I can tell she is justifying her views instead of challenging them...some of her reasoning is just off
Texas has steers and queers but there ain't enough queers to elect that guy
There is nothing conservative about this GOp.
What this lady doesn't understand is that majority of Texas voters are not democrat or republican but Independent voters.
First!
Paxton has no relationship with God.
I love how we are just past the point of no return when it comes to “journalists” refuting facts. Like, that woman could have said, “the Covid vaccine turned my mom into a horse” and the journalist wouldn’t bat an eye.
I think Talarico might win TX, but I am afraid that he might take down Abbott with him. Higher turnout among Latinos thus far than 2024 (a presidential election) is crazy. I have always told people that these people care more about immigration than anything else.
How do we lower gas prices that have been high for years….well attacking Iran didn’t help.
Looks like it's a Tie down there in Texas. The Actual Poll says 49% Talarico to 49% Paxton. That Fake Poll saying Talarico is ahead is wrong. It's a Tie. So, who's going to Break the Tie? If you Don't Vote, you Can't Break it.
