Democrats target Texas as 'last great opportunity' in 2026 midterms

Democrats are mounting a serious challenge in Texas, historically a Republican stronghold, with early voting underway. Candidates Talarico and Hinojosa are focusing on cost-of-living and Trump policies to attract undecided voters, while Republicans Abbott and Paxton avoid debates and emphasize continuity. The outcome is uncertain but could signal a shift in Texas's political landscape.
