A Texas Southern University\/YouGov  conducted between April 22 and May 6 found Talarico and Paxton both had support among likely voters.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=150\">The Commodores Drop Trump\u2019s \u2018Great American State Fair\u2019 As Lineup Crumbles<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Key Background<\/h2>\n<p>Talarico\u2019s faltering odds come amid an intense exchange of mudslinging from Democratic supporters and Republican critics. Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said in an X post Tuesday night the \u201cDemocrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender senate candidate,\u201d a jab that could be ultimately rooted in comments Talarico has made defending transgender rights, though other right-wing commenters have made personal attacks on Talarico\u2019s appearance. In response to Miller, the official X account of the Democratic Party said, \u201cshut up you ugly f\u2014,\u201d garnering well over 10 million impressions on the social media platform. The official Republican Party account said in a separate post, \u201cAnyone worried about losing to this freak hasn&#8217;t been to Texas,\u201d piling on to insults Paxton and Trump have made about Talarico, alleging he is a vegan (which Talarico has denied) and blasting him for saying  during a floor debate God was nonbinary. Talarico walked back some of his comments in an interview with CBS News, saying Paxton was \u201cintentionally clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption\u201d and his comments regarding a gender of God were \u201cintentionally provocative.\u201d Following allegations of corruption, bribery and abuse of his official powers, Paxton was impeached in 2023 and suspended from office before the Texas Senate acquitted him of all charges. <\/p>\n<h2>Further Reading<\/h2>\n<p>Democrats\u2019 Official X Account Posts Profanity-Laced Attack On Stephen Miller In Tawdry Exchange (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=148\">U.S. And Iran Reach Deal\u2014Pending Trump\u2019s Approval<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Trump Backs Paxton Over Cornyn In Fiery Texas Senate Runoff\u2014Targeting Another GOP Incumbent (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=146\">ChatGPT\u2014The Fastest-Growing App Ever\u2014Is Losing Downloads As Claude Surges<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Betting odds briefly favored Texas state Rep.
