    The story so far

    1. Update 1

      51 to 48: Democrat Leads Paxton in Texas, and the Senate Map Shifts

      James Talarico's three-point edge over Ken Paxton is small — but a string of polls now points the same way in a state Democrats haven't won in decades.

      Still open after this report

      • No margin of error, sample size, or field dates were provided in the available Fox poll account, so the precision of the 3-point edge cannot be judged.
      • No full verbatim transcript of Paxton's August 6 remarks is available beyond the reported socialist characterization and his stated plan to press his message.
