Paxton and Talarico open battle for South Texas with dueling rallies, diverging pitches
· KRGV (NBC 5)
In McAllen, Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democratic nominee James Talarico held competing rallies as they campaign for the U.S. Senate seat. Paxton, supported by local GOP officials, emphasized his record on border security and economic opportunity, criticizing Talarico's legislative history. Talarico, on his 'Frontera Tour,' focused on affordability and a 'commonsense' border security plan, advocating for more personnel rather than a wall. Both candidates aim to appeal to Latino voters in a region that swung towards Trump in 2024. The contrasting messages reflect changing priorities, with economic issues now at the forefront for many voters in South Texas.
