PoliticsTalarico wins Texas Senate race, ending decades of Republican dominance
James Talarico won the US Senate race in Texas, the first Democratic win for statewide office there since 1994. The result marks a major political shift in a state long associated with staunch conservative policies. Donald Trump had intervened in the Republican primary by backing scandal-ridden Attorney General Ken Paxton over John Cornyn. Paxton failed to energize even his own party despite spending exceeding $500 million, including at least $212 million from Elon Musk.
