Talarico debates Texas voters in town hall amid tight Senate race
Talarico used the forum to pitch a bipartisan, populist message while saying 8% of Republican voters backed him in a Marist University poll.
- On Wednesday, Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico participated in a 90-minute televised town hall on CNN and Jubilee in Fort Worth, engaging with Texas Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to present himself as a moderate.
- National Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have poured millions into Texas to boost Republican Ken Paxton, who has declined multiple debate invitations from Fox News and CNN despite Talarico's repeated requests.
- Talarico criticized the 'rage economy' and refuted a conspiracy theory fueled by Paxton that falsely claimed Talarico was at an Ohio mental health facility while he was home with the flu.
- Independent voter Jody Hunt challenged Talarico on abortion, stating, 'The Bible is not silent on abortion,' to which Talarico replied they must 'look at different scriptures' regarding his position.
- Recent polls show Talarico leading Paxton 48.1% to 45.5%, as early voting begins Monday, October 19, and Paxton continues an 18-day bus tour across Texas before the election.
