Appearing Friday on FNC’s “The Will Cain Show,” Texas Republican U.S. Senate nominee Ken Paxton accused the mainstream media of hiding Democrat nominee James Talarico’s political views from voters.
Paxton described Talarico as a “socialist Democrat” who wants to move the country in a direction far removed from “what our founders intended.”
“As you well know, there hasn’t been a Democrat elected to Senate in Texas since 1988, Lloyd Bentsen,” host Will Cain said. “How do you feel four days out from the election?”
Paxton said he felt confident after spending 17 days campaigning across Texas by bus. He noted that he had appeared with Vice President J.D. Vance and President Donald Trump in Corpus Christi and Lubbock while working to reach voters statewide.

“Obviously, the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know what James Talarico really is, which is a socialist Democrat who does want to transform this country into something very different than what our founders intended,” Paxton said. “And so it’s our job to get the message out. We’re doing it by speaking all over, but we’re also using ads.”
Paxton also challenged Talarico’s portrayal of himself as an underdog, arguing that the Democrat had raised more money than he had, with much of the funding coming from California, New York and Chicago.
“So, I think it’s interesting that he’s talking about the Washington establishment,” Paxton added. “Well, guess what? The liberal Democratic Washington establishment, Chuck Schumer, is behind this guy. So it’s typical of this guy to try to cover up who he really is, but the reality is, he’s lying to the public. He’s not telling the truth about his positions, and he’s not talking about my positions in an accurate way as well.”
