Talarico Returns to Texas Senate Race After Flu, Debunks Mental Health Rumors
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico returned to the campaign trail on October 11 after a nine-day absence due to the flu. He dismissed viral rumors that he was receiving mental health treatment, calling them a 'lie.' Talarico challenged his opponent, Ken Paxton, to a debate, noting Paxton had ignored requests for 85 days. The race remains the most expensive in U.S. history, with Republicans spending over $166 million to support Paxton despite polling ties.
