James Talarico, the Democratic candidate, and Republican Ken Paxton are in a competitive Texas U.S. Senate race with less than a month to go. One right-leaning outlet reports Talarico's poll lead has narrowed since July, with the latest UT/Texas Politics Project poll showing him ahead by 3 points. Another says he was questioned at a CNN town hall about past remarks on God and abortion, and a BlazeTV host harshly criticized him. An independent outlet discusses a viral audio clip involving Talarico and asks whether it is an AI election deception, calling it a scandal that wasn't.
