Trump Faces Calls To Spend In Texas As Dems Blitz Republicans

In the Texas Senate race, Democrat James Talarico has significantly outspent Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, raising $31.6 million compared to Paxton's $9.3 million in the latest fundraising quarter. This financial disparity, combined with polling showing a close race in a traditionally conservative state, has prompted some Republicans to call on President Donald Trump to provide additional funding support. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) urged Trump to allocate up to $200 million in Texas, citing Trump's claim of having $850 million in his campaign account. MAGA Inc., a PAC aligned with Trump, holds over $400 million and plans to spend on competitive races. Meanwhile, Talarico's campaign has received substantial donations from out-of-state Democrats, particularly from wealthy Massachusetts areas. Some GOP donors are reluctant to invest in Texas due to dissatisfaction with the GOP primary outcomes.
