Texas Senate nominee James Talarico reappears after multi-day absence

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on James Talarico’s return to the Texas Senate campaign after an absence, and both include the campaign’s flu explanation. The New York Times alone says he appeared at a music festival and quotes him describing “a nasty case of the flu,” while the Washington Post alone adds that Republicans tried to make the absence seem suspicious.
