Episode Details

A former lawyer who defended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is now backing his opponent, Rep. James Talarico, citing the need for unity over division. Talarico, who initially campaigned with a positive message, has ramped up his intensity to match Paxton’s aggressive style — a move Paxton has responded to with harsh insults. Talarico counters by pointing to his legislative record and Paxton’s criminal history. With Trump’s endorsement and a primary win over Sen. John Cornyn, Paxton’s general election hopes look shaky, especially as national GOP analysts now favor Talarico — seeing him as a stronger candidate than Cornyn would have been, amid Paxton’s controversial reputation and fundraising struggles.
