Talarico PRESSES Paxton as Texas Senate Race Gets INTENSE!
James Talarico is calling out Ken Paxton over his apparent debate dodge as the Texas Senate race heats up. Talarico has accepted three proposed televised debates—but will Paxton show up?
In this video, we examine Talarico’s latest interview, Paxton’s response, and why avoiding tough questions could become a serious campaign problem. Recent polling continues to show an extremely competitive Texas Senate race, with several surveys placing Talarico ahead or within the margin of error.
Could Paxton’s controversies and unwillingness to publicly answer questions give Democrats their best opportunity in Texas since Beto O’Rourke’s 2018 campaign?

We had a Trump licking candidate that refused to speak with us about Healthcare! She said she felt threatened. Of course, taking away the ACA threatened all of us, but she didn’t see it that way.!

Paxton needs to go. Nobody really cares for him. He’s corrupt as you can get him get his ass gone.

No Debate.
Correction there are currently Three debates scheduled, but Paxton hasn’t confirmed to show up to any of them, so No debates.

Based on Paxton’s behavior, he is unlikely this debate because he risked greater exposure to his own very questionable character traits.

That anyone would even vote for Paxton tells you how pathetic things are in our country. It’s almost like running for congress requires a history of crime. This country is beyond messed up. 🫣

I'm not a resident of Texas, but if I was, I would vote for James Talarico and give him a chance like Rep Crockett's voters should give him a chance and if he does a good job as Senator, we'll reelect him.

A debate with Paxton is like trump going ghost on HIS corruption questions.

Paxton is running away because he knows his corrupt is off the chart.
