Texas 2026 Senate race: GOP spending and candidate scrutiny
Overview
The Texas 2026 U.S. Senate race between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton has tightened, with political analysts from Fox News, the Cook Political Report, and the Center for Politics upgrading the contest from ‘leans Republican’ to a ‘toss-up.’ Recent RealClearPolitics polling averages show Talarico leading Paxton by less than three percentage points.
Financial activity has intensified as the Trump-associated super PAC MAGA Inc. announced a $10 million expenditure for television and digital advertisements. The spending is split evenly, with $5 million to support Paxton and $5 million to target Talarico, aiming to portray the Democrat as a candidate focused on high taxes. Elon Musk’s America PAC has also provided financial support to Paxton.
Talarico is facing multifaceted scrutiny regarding his past record and personal views. He has been questioned about a 2019 vote against a constitutional amendment to make the state’s prohibition on individual income taxes permanent, which he defended as ‘duplicative government overreach at its worst.’
Additionally, Talarico’s religious views have become a focal point. Opponents have highlighted resurfaced footage where he described various religious concepts as ‘equal pathways to truth’ alongside Jesus Christ. Further scrutiny has been directed at his longtime place of worship, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, following comments from a minister regarding the congregation’s religious identities and remarks made by some members concerning the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. These developments follow previous criticisms of Talarico’s remarks regarding Christianity and gender.
