Talarico to Skip Bernie Sanders Texas Rally as Senate Polling Lead Tightens
James Talarico won’t join Bernie Sanders when he visits the Lone Star State as polls with Ken Paxton have grown closer.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on the new Texas polling picture, with The Hill leading on three polls that show James Talarico slightly ahead of Ken Paxton. Newsweek covers the same race but frames it differently, focusing on Talarico skipping a Bernie Sanders rally and saying the polling lead has tightened. The Hill is the only outlet here to mention contests in both the Senate and governor’s races.
