‘Most corrupt’ vs ‘most excessive’: With Texas Senate matchup set, candidates trade attacks
Trump-endorsed and scandal-plagued Attorney General Ken Paxton crushed incumbent Sen. John Cornyn for the GOP Senate nomination. Paxton shortly pivoted to attacking his Democratic opponent, state Rep. James Talarico, calling him “James Tala-freak-o” and “Tofu Talarico”. Talarico countered that Paxton is the “most corrupt politician in America.” Can he grow to be the primary Democrat to win a Texas Senate seat since 1988?
