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, the Republican candidate, emphasized border security and economic opportunities, criticizing Talarico's legislative record. Talarico, on a 'Frontera Tour,' focused on affordability and humane immigration policies, advocating for more Border Patrol agents. Both candidates are targeting Latino voters in a region that swung towards Trump in 2024.
