Story summary

On October 27, 2026, President Trump held two campaign rallies in Texas to boost Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton, while Democratic candidate James Talarico organized his own rally just miles away. Both events took place in Lubbock, a city with less than 300,000 residents, emphasizing the critical nature of the Senate race ahead of the midterm elections. Trump's visit aimed to deny Democrats a chance at winning in Texas, which has historically been a Republican stronghold. Talarico’s rally focused on criticizing Paxton and tying him to Elon Musk, highlighting issues like economic struggles and rural hospital closures. Despite concerns about a potential shift, many Republicans remained confident that the state would stay red.
