Texas Senate Race Fuels Debate as Trump Goes Virtual
In a surprising turn, the Texas Senate contest draws attention while early voting numbers surge ahead of the 2022 midterms.
Ken Paxton and Talarico are competing for a Texas Senate seat, and Donald Trump, in his second presidency, is campaigning virtually rather than in person for the race.
Texas was not expected to be a major center of the midterm elections, according to The Washington Times, yet early voting was nearing its conclusion in several states.
Early balloting totals were approaching 50 million heading into the weekend, contributing to the roughly 112 million people who voted in total in the 2022 midterm elections.
