Obama Enters Texas Senate Fight

“Former President Barack Obama appeared with James Talarico in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday, aiming to boost the rising Democrat star in his uphill bid to flip a U.S. Senate seat in the reliably Republican state,” New York Times reports.

“The appearance was part of Mr. Obama’s effort to elevate a new generation of Democratic leaders as the party heads into the 2026 midterms, a highly competitive year for control of the U.S. House and, potentially, for the U.S. Senate.”
