Talarico Faces Paxton on the Record, Not Trump, in Texas Senate Race
TL;DR Summary
Democrat James Talarico launches a five-city Texas campaign swing to define Ken Paxton by his record—impeachment by his own party, SEC investigations, and a string of personal scandals—while avoiding Trump-focused attacks and pressing for multiple debates, arguing the choice in the 2026 race is Paxton’s record versus Texas voters’ interests. Paxton’s background, including impeachment in 2023 and various legal entanglements, frames the contest as a test of accountability in a state where Trump remains a backdrop rather than the focal point.
