Battleground Texas: Inside the Lone Star State Showdowns

from The Fox News Rundown Hosted by FOX News Podcasts

In this special battleground state edition of The FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition, Fox's Alex Hogan takes a deep dive into the Lone Star State. With record-setting campaign spending, mid-decade redistricting, and shifting voter demographics, Texas has become one of the nation's most compelling midterm battlegrounds. Daron Shaw, Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin and member of the FOX News Decision Desk, breaks down the high-profile U.S. Senate clash between Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democratic State Representative James Talarico. Shaw analyzes whether short-term economic anxieties and high diesel prices are eroding traditional GOP margins among rural voters, how local ad markets are saturated, and why GOTV shoe-leather operations could ultimately decide the race.
