Fox News Just Changed the Senate Map | Texas Is Now a TOSS-UP
Fox News Just Changed the Senate Map | Texas Is Now a TOSS-UP. The new Fox News Senate Power Rankings move Texas into the toss-up category as the battle for control of the Senate intensifies.
In this video, we break down the latest polling in Texas and what the matchup between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton could mean for both parties. We’ll also examine the other major battlegrounds—including Michigan—and explain how Democrats could reach 51 or even 52 Senate seats.
Is Texas truly becoming a Senate battleground, or will Republicans ultimately hold the seat? Let me know what you think in the comments.

8/24/2026 It sickens me, that uninformed voters and a rigged & gerrymandered system could, potentially keep cowards, enablers and grifters, in power. Some MI democrats didn’t learn a thing. They gave Trump a victory, that then, gave Gaza a death sentence. History, so fvcking sadly, keeps repeating itself.

Ranchers might contribute money, but they only hold a small vote share. I don't see them contributing to TRO. So, their impact on the election should not be strong.

The other day I saw a poll that had the Arkansas Dem Senate candidate ahead. Is this on your radar at all or is it remotely a possibility? Great show, as usual–keep up the good work!

Guy,
In one of your broadcast, I told you that the black communities are not going to vote for El Said and you didn't say anything. Go and ask majority of them in Detroit. They don't trust or like their Moslem communities.

Texan here, Texas is waking up. Paxton is such a weak candidate and he is just way too corrupt

"Reps have a problematic candidate on their own…" I think he was referring to Paxton as the "problematic candidate" with all of his issues. But wait, there's more… in the latest news we have T screwing over the American rancher with his proposal to import foreign beef. Which state has a lot of ranchers? Hmmm… I wonder if this is going to impact the race further in Texas? Inflation, jobs, economy, immigration, data centers and now beef. I wouldn't be surprised if screwing over cattle ranchers isn't going to be the last straw for Reps in the coming election. We're talking about T attacking the hamburger and steak and I don't think America will ever forgive him. It's one thing to make us pay at the pump, but when you start messing around with my ribeye steak, we're going to have a serious problem. Great video!

How are 15% of Michigan voters voting for someone other than the 2 main candidates after the primaries? Like do they think their primary choice or something is gonna come through in the end?
