Texas Senate Race Tightens | Lubbock News

from Lubbock Daily News Now | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Texas Senate race is a nail-biter, with Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico locked in a dead heat. Paxton’s campaign just landed 18 House GOP endorsements—including Jodey Arrington, who praised his anti-Biden fire—and got a boost from Trump himself. But internal GOP cracks are widening: Paxton faces impeachment charges, making some reps wary. Meanwhile, Talarico’s camp is gaining ground, with former President Obama publicly backing him and even former Paxton allies switching sides. With polls showing razor-thin margins—and some leaning Democratic—the outcome could reshape Texas politics. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
