Ken Paxton is the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate seat that has been a reliable GOP stronghold for more than three decades. He faces Democratic challenger James Talarico, who leads Paxton by six points in a New York Times/Siena poll released Saturday. Paxton’s candidacy is clouded by a prior impeachment by the Texas House over corruption allegations and a subsequent acquittal by the state Senate. The race has attracted unprecedented outside money; a John Thune-connected group has poured a record $131 million into the contest, according to reporting.
