Talarico trying to win back Hispanics along Texas border who swung to GOP

Talarico trying to win back Hispanics along Texas border who swung to GOP follows Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s campaign push in Texas’s southern border city of Eagle Pass. Talarico visited Memo’s Restaurant along the U.S.-Mexico border, where residents described political shifts among Hispanic voters who moved toward the Republican Party in recent years. The article links those changes to two recurring concerns in the area: increased border crossings and persistently high everyday costs, even after Trump reduced illegal crossings. Talarico, a former middle school teacher and state lawmaker, is campaigning against Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, emphasizing a message that the economy is “rigged” for “mega donors.” Security and a large crowd marked the event as Talarico sought support in predominantly Hispanic counties that have become notable after the 2024 election. The outcome could influence whether Democrats regain U.S. Senate control.
