> Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico attended an election-night watch party in Austin as he faced Republican Ken Paxton, Texas’s attorney general. Trump carried Texas by nearly 14 points in 2024, but Democrats saw the race as a possible pickup. Trump campaigned there repeatedly in the final weeks as polls showed Paxton trailing Talarico, who outraised him by $124 million this cycle.
