A new poll shows Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico slightly leading Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as the two candidates battle it out to replace incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton has yet to fully unify the GOP despite the president’s endorsement in the GOP primary against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Some of Talarico’s best groups are Black voters, moderates, voters under age 30, Hispanic voters, women and voters with a college degree. "It'll be close," said state Rep. @ShelleyLuther on the U.S. Senate race between Paxton and Talarico. Ken Paxton has a track of selling out working people, that is the difference in this race,” Talarico said.
