Texas Senate Race Tightens as Paxton Gets Short Slot at GOP Convention

A new poll shows Democrat James Talarico leading Republican Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race by five points, with 7% of voters undecided. The race is statistically tied, but Talarico’s favorability among Hispanic voters has surged. Meanwhile, Paxton received only a five-minute slot during the non-prime-time hours of the first-ever GOP midterm convention in Dallas, signaling low confidence within the party. Trump later mocked Paxton’s appearance and speaking style, further highlighting the candidate’s struggles.

At the Republican National Convention, claims about illegal immigration were scrutinized, including assertions that President Biden's policies have led to increased border chaos and fentanyl deaths. Fact checks reveal that Biden's comments on surging the border were taken out of context, and most fentanyl trafficking crimes are committed by U.S. citizens. Additionally, studies show that people in the U.S. illegally have lower crime rates than native-born citizens.
