Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, April 27, 2026

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is in a panic over the Texas US Senate race, stunned that James Talarico (D) not only broke state, but national, fundraising records: "James Talarico didn't just break records in Texas, he outraised EVERY Senate campaign across the country," Abbott whined. "Make no mistake: the $40 MILLION and 540,000 DONORS Talarico has amassed will be unleashed to get Democrats to the polls in every corner of Texas. The Democrats are not sitting this one out. They are targeting our candidates with a level of resources this state has never seen." "

Texas is a Republican Party-Led Mess

State Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin) is running for US Senate, hoping to flip the seat blue for the first time since 1993.

Incumbent Republican US Sen. John Cornyn is being challenged by Attorney General Ken Paxton in a May 26 runoff. Both are good-for-nothing dinosaurs.

Talarico outraised both of them: nearly triple what Cornyn raised and more than 12 times what Paxton raised and more than any other candidate for US Senate in the first quarter, a record $27 million.
