Trump, Musk and Ken Paxton: Why Texas Matters in the 2026 US Midterms | Spotlight
Texas is emerging as a key battleground ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections. Republican Ken Paxton faces Democrat James Talarico in a closely watched Senate race that could affect control of Congress. With Talarico raising $64 million in the third quarter, billionaire Elon Musk has stepped in with major donations to Republican super PACs, including $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund and $10 million to a pro-Paxton group. Meanwhile, Musk has amplified a false claim about Talarico's health, which an Ohio medical facility publicly denied. Why are Trump and Musk investing so heavily in Texas? Cary Johnston is joined by Darrell West, Senior Fellow in the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution on Spotlight.---
