When the history of the 2026 Midterms is written, historians may point to the Donald Trump endorsement of ethically flawed, morally bankrupt, and criminally corrupt MAGA-loving and Trump Mini Me Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his primary runoff campaign victory over MAGA-lite incumbent Senator John Cornyn as the turning point on the road to victory for Democratic Senate Candidate James Talarico and tipping the scales to giving his party control of the Congressional Upper Chamber in 2027.
Talarico, a Texas State Representative who defeated Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic Primary on March 3 after receiving a boost courtesy of Late Night Host Stephen Colbert posting a video of an interview with him after CBS cancelled it, wasted no time responding to the Paxton takeover of the Texas MAGA-Republican cult, thanking Cornyn for his public service, and inviting his supporters to join his Senate campaign.
He also broadcast the video below titled ‘The People vs Ken Paxton’ on social media.
In the video, Talarico said:
“Something just happened in Texas. The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate. Three years ago, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at the expense of the people.
That kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system. It’s why we can’t afford anything. It’s why we can’t get ahead no matter how hard we work.
For 50 years, mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have stolen from us with their bribes, their bailouts, and their billionaire tax breaks. Ken Paxton has gotten away with it. They’ve all gotten away with it.
But that ends this year, in this state, in this race. If we the people can come together to defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system. We can start unrigging this economy. We can start raising our pay, cutting our taxes, and lowering our costs. We can finally get ahead. It’s time to come together.
The people versus Ken Paxton.”
After the video, Talarico posted:
Let the battle for control of the United States Senate begin.
