Hostin predicts Texas will turn Democratic in Senate race
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 08:43 · Archive
Democratic candidate James Talarico leads Republican Ken Paxton in polls ahead of the November US Senate election in Texas.
Sunny Hostin predicted Thursday that Texas will vote Democratic in the November Senate race between James Talarico and Ken Paxton, the first time in about 30 years. Hostin cited eight pollsters showing Talarico ahead 51 to 45 per cent, and leading Paxton significantly among women (56 to 40 per cent), voters aged 18 to 29 (66 to 22 per cent) and Hispanic voters (62 to 30 per cent).
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said Texas being in play reflected frustration with President Donald Trump's administration. She called Talarico a good candidate and argued that Senator John Cornyn would have been a stronger Republican nominee than Paxton, who was endorsed by Trump and won the GOP primary.
A Fox News poll released in October found Talarico with a net positive personal rating of 8 points among likely Texas voters (52 per cent favourable versus 44 per cent unfavourable), while Paxton was underwater by 18 points (40 per cent versus 58 per cent). Other panellists including Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro expressed doubt about the polling favouring the Democratic candidate.
