James Talarico wins Texas Senate race in historic victory for Democrats
The Guardian reports that Democrat James Talarico defeated Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, a Trump ally, in a Texas Senate race that broke a Democratic drought dating to Lloyd Bentsen's 1988 win and 1994 for statewide office. The Guardian calls the result a stunning blow to Trump, while the race's advertising spending reportedly topped $500m, with Elon Musk contributing $158m to Republican efforts.
