Texas-demokraten James Talarico kampanjar mot Ken Paxton i senatsvalet

Texas delstatsrepresentant James Talarico ställer upp som demokratisk kandidat mot republikanen Ken Paxton i kampen om senatsplatsen i USA:s senat.

Talarico beskrev Paxton som den mest korrupta politikern i USA efter det republikanska primärvalet, där Paxton besegrade den sittande senatorn John Cornyn. Paxton har mött anklagelser om mutbrott och missbruk av sin ämbetsposition men vidhåller att han är utsatt för politiska angrepp. Talarico menar att skandalerna ger demokraterna en öppning i den vanligtvis republikanskt dominerade delstaten.
