Foss said Democratic candidates have emerged in the Talarico Texas U.S. Senate race and have made gains in fundraising and polling, giving the Republican Party its most serious challenge in decades.
Fox News analysis on the 30th,republican party texas federationsenator The election faces its greatest threat in decades, with Democratic candidate James Tallarico, a former Presbyterian seminary student, potentially becoming the first brick to topple the “red wall.”
The report notes that Democrats have seen a rare opportunity in Texas for many years, and are expected to flip a US Senate seat from red to blue. Tallarico’s current lead in the polls is more advantageous than the Democratic Party’s position in 2018.
In 2018, Democratic nominee Beto O’Rourke challenged incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz. Although he lost, he achieved the highest vote share for a Democratic candidate in decades.
In terms of election fundraising, Talarico’s campaign raised 64 million yuan between July and September this year, while Republican candidate Ken Paxton, who was endorsed by President Trump, raised a total of 18 million yuan during the same period. Counting from the time he announced his candidacy, Talarico’s campaign has raised more than 146 million yuan.
Paxton received more than $200 million in sponsorship from outside Republican groups, almost all of which came from tech tycoon Elon Musk.
Data from market research firm AdImpact show that Trump’s super PAC “Make America Great Again” (MAGA, Inc.) spent an additional 33.7 million yuan on advertising to support Paxton.
Tallarico’s vote-seeking trip this week included trips to El Paso, Midland and Amarillo. On the 27th, he held a campaign event in the deep red district of Lubbock, and the number of attendees exceeded expectations. That night, at the rally in Paxton, which was 4 miles away, Trump’s time on stage was slightly adjusted to keep him out of the Tallarico rally.
The Talarico team said more than 4,000 people signed up for the Roebuck campaign and were forced to move to a larger location.
Natalie, a Friona resident who attended the event, said in an interview with Fox News Digital that Trump’s repeated visits to Texas to support the election reflect the Republican Party’s concern about the election. Janey, a Brownsville resident and supporter who attended the Paxton rally, said Paxton would score a big win.
