Politico describes Paxton, Trump's endorsed candidate, as appearing to be in a tight race with James Talarico. Axios says Trump is preemptively blaming Cornyn and Rove for making it hard for Paxton to win, and describes this as spin on a potential Republican setback. Axios also notes Texas has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988.
