Democrats could flip Texas Senate seat because Paxton 'is so awful': Sabato
xCruzo Brief
Texas could be closer than usual to flipping a Senate seat after Attorney General Ken Paxton’s political liabilities, according to election analyst Larry Sabato. Speaking to CNN, Sabato said state Rep. James Talarico, a Democrat, has a plausible path to winning a statewide race, citing a Fox News poll that shows Talarico leading Paxton 51% to 48%. Sabato argued the decisive factor is Paxton’s controversies, including being impeached by the Texas House, facing 20 charges of misconduct in office, and indictments tied to three felony securities-fraud counts, along with an extramarital affair. Paxton reported raising $9.2 million, while Talarico reported $68 million, including $30 million in the second quarter.
