Texas Race Tightens as Character Trumps Party | Wilmington News
Description
Texas is turning red, but not as expected—Democratic challenger James Talarico is quietly surging in the Senate race, outpacing Republican Ken Paxton despite the latter’s MAGA backing, thanks to voters’ growing concerns over Paxton’s character and Talarico’s appeal to independents and disenchanted Republicans. With inflation dominating concerns and Democrats energized, Talarico’s momentum is undeniable. Meanwhile, in the governor’s race, Greg Abbott holds a razor-thin lead over Gina Hinojosa, who’s gaining ground with motivated voters—especially Hispanic Texans, who are increasingly turning away from the GOP and toward Democratic candidates. This could be the biggest realignment in Texas politics in decades.
