Trump is also skipping in-person campaigning for virtual rallies, including for the Texas Senate race between Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico.⁠[16, 26, 39] NewsNation reported Talarico held a Houston event while Paxton campaigned in Fort Worth as early voting nears its conclusion.⁠[49]

PBS NewsHour reported early balloting totals were approaching 50 million heading into the weekend, compared with about 112 million total votes in the 2022 midterms.⁠[26] Breitbart reported that Talarico's private polling shows his race against Paxton closer than public surveys that have given him a lead.⁠[33]
