Early Voting In Texas Starts October 19, 2026

.@JamesTalarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. That's why I haven't heard from him after 85 days when I first challenged him to a debate publicly. And I think people are concerned — it's really good for us all to figure out what condition Ken Paxton may have that's preventing him from debating. Fox News has said that Ken Paxton should debate. President Trump has said Ken Paxton should debate. The people of Texas have said Ken Paxton should debate. We're awaiting his answer. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

That's why I haven't heard from him after 85 days when I first challenged him to a debate publicly. And I think people are concerned — it's really good for us all to figure out what condition Ken Paxton may have that's preventing him from debating.

Fox News has said that Ken Paxton should debate. President Trump has said Ken Paxton should debate. The people of Texas have said Ken Paxton should debate.

We're awaiting his answer. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

Q: President Trump said that you and Ken Paxton should debate... What are your thoughts on that? @JamesTalarico: I agree with President Trump. I think Ken Paxton should debate. The president is saying he should debate. Fox News has said he should debate. The people of Texas have said he should debate. And I think it's mysterious that Ken Paxton hasn't responded to a request for a debate in 85 days. I hear that people are getting really concerned about the Attorney General. I’ve heard rumors that he has a rare medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. I know Ken Paxton has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

Fox host: President Trump said you all should have a debate… Is that in the works? Ken Paxton (lying): Oh well, no, look... We can never quite work out the details. https://t.co/KzDk2biRyL

And the saddest part is telling Texans what they won’t put up with.

🚨 JUST IN: Ken Paxton says James Talarico does NOT have the strength to serve as US Senator of Texas "I don't know whether to believe him about the flu or NOT, I just know that almost EVERYTHING he says has been false about the campaign!" 🎯 "ABSOLUTELY NOT. He's not strong enough!" "No. He's NOT capable. The only thing he's capable of is lying to the voters!" Disappears for 2 weeks in the final stretch, constantly changing his positions, wants us to not question anything and take him at his word NOT GONNA FLY IN TEXAS. Texans deserve a senator who is honest with them, not one who disappears and expects nobody to ask questions! What happens if he actually gets elected? TEXAS NEEDS KEN PAXTON 🔥

Texans can be mulish, and the best way to piss ‘em off is to tell them what they won’t tolerate. We’ll tell you what we find unacceptable. We don’t need you to tell us.

And one week from the polls opening? Minds are pretty well made up.
