James Talarico's projected win would end Democrats’ 38-year wait for a Texas U.S. Senate victory, with Decision Desk HQ putting him 11 percentage points ahead of Ken Paxton.
Talarico's campaign highlighted education and health care. It proposed higher teacher pay, universal prekindergarten and keeping public funds in public schools, along with lower prescription costs and action on medical debt. EconoTimes previously covered Talarico’s education and health care proposals.
Decision Desk HQ made its projection Tuesday while votes were still being counted.
