Texas and Iowa Senate Races Tighten | Amarillo News

Texas and Iowa Senate races are now toss-ups, signaling a major political shift. In Texas, Republican Ken Paxton faces mounting disapproval and a potential libertarian spoiler, while Democrat James Talarico holds steady despite past controversies. In Iowa, Republican Ashley Hinson is favored but struggles amid economic pain from rising ag costs and tariffs, opening a window for Democratic challenger Josh Turek — also potentially aided by a libertarian candidate. Though Republicans still hold a financial edge thanks to recent rulings, Democrats’ current enthusiasm could tip the scales. Both races are still evolving, with campaigns just beginning to ramp up.
