The Rest Is Politics US hosts frame Trump’s two Texas rallies as a last-minute effort to help secure Ken Paxton’s Senate bid and describe the race as a toss-up. They cite a poll showing James Talerico at 48% and Paxton at 46%, within the margin of error. They contrast one Trump speech of about an hour and a half with Talerico’s roughly 28-minute speech, saying the nearby Lubbock events each drew about 4,000 people.
