Texas Senate Race Turns Toss-Up | Charleston News

Texas’ Senate race is heating up as a potential heavyweight showdown, with Republican Ken Paxton—embroiled in legal woes and impeachment—facing off against Democrat James Talarico. Once solidly red, this seat has flipped to a toss-up by Cook Political Report, making it a critical battleground for Democrats aiming to flip the Senate. With over 20 major media markets and projections of hundreds of millions spent, outside money hasn’t yet flooded in—but if the race stays tight into October, expect a cash explosion. Voters may ultimately decide based on whether Paxton’s controversies outweigh his conservative credentials. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
