Texas Democrats rally in Fort Worth as party pushes to flip U.S. Senate seat
Texas Democrats are launching a coordinated push to improve their chances in November, holding joint rallies across the state as they try to capitalize on what some analysts say may be their strongest opportunity in years to flip a U.S. Senate seat. At a recent event in Fort Worth, the party drew hundreds of supporters for statewide candidates, including state Rep. James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. Talarico pointed to Democrat Taylor Emmett’s recent special election win in Tarrant County as evidence of shifting momentum and told supporters he hopes it signals a path to a broader victory this fall.
