Texas Senate Race Tightens Dramatically | Texas News

Texas’ U.S. Senate race is heating up in a razor-thin battle between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico, with polls showing a dead heat or a one-point edge for Paxton—just four months before Election Day. Once a reliably red state, Texas is now showing signs of volatility, especially as Trump’s approval wobbles. Talarico, though outperforming past Texas Democrats, still faces the uphill climb of the “Democrat” label in a GOP-leaning state. But there’s a silver lining: Paxton’s strong GOP base and Talarico’s commanding lead among independents. Voters aren’t focused on abortion or guns—they’re asking about jobs, inflation, and leadership. The real test? Whether candidates are actually answering what Texans care about most.
