Texas Senate Race Fractures Ahead of November

Texas’ Senate race is heating up with deep party fractures that could reshape the outcome. Republican frontrunner Ken Paxton faces resistance from former Senator John Cornyn, who openly doubts his readiness, while Democrats split between nominee James Talarico and primary loser Jasmine Crockett, who’s questioning his outreach to Black voters. With polls showing Talarico gaining traction among independents and Cornyn’s base wavering, unity is critical — especially as Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushes Republicans to set aside differences. The stakes? Whether Texas stays red or becomes a battleground in November. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
