Democrat James Talarico skips Bernie Sanders rally as early voting opened in his tight Texas Senate race with Ken Paxton

Instead of joining Bernie Sanders and Beto O'Rourke in El Paso, Talarico rallied hundreds of miles away in Fort Worth. Paxton mocked him there: 'How about we transition him and his crazy ideas right out of Texas?' Polls show Talarico narrowly ahead, though Texas has not elected a Democrat statewide since 1994. President Donald Trump is due back in Texas on October 27 to boost Paxton.
Jasmine Crockett insists she has 'endorsed him 100 times' but her PAC still omits Talarico.
Talarico has had to walk back a suggestion that God was nonbinary.
Robert F Kennedy Jr took the stage to endorse Paxton in Fort Worth.
