Talarico calls out sick from campaign trail as Paxton faces new leaked audio

With less than a month to go before the general election and early voting set to begin in just 10 days, the two candidates in Texas’s closely watched Senate race are facing unique challenges.

Democratic nominee James Talarico has canceled at least two campaign events after coming down with the flu, and Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton, meanwhile, has had another audio recording leaked, this time detailing his concerns about the effects of the Iran war.
