Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico says his campaign raised $64 million in the third quarter, a figure he calls the most ever for a Senate candidate during that period. The campaign also says the fundraising helps him stay ahead of Republican incumbent Ken Paxton in the race, according to reporting across multiple outlets.
CBS News and NBC News add additional context by citing campaign totals beyond the third quarter. CBS reports that the $64 million brings Talarico’s fundraising to $134 million since he announced his candidacy last year, while NBC similarly emphasizes the campaign’s claim that the third-quarter haul sets a new record. The outlets focus on the campaign’s stated figures and their comparison to historical fundraising benchmarks, with no matching figures from Paxton included in the provided reports.
