Story summary

On October 7, 2026, President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas, to support Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton. During the event, protesters repeatedly interrupted Trump's speech, leading him to accuse them of being "paid by enemies." The rally also featured Talarico's absence from campaigning due to illness, which his opponent's team mocked as an extended break. With less than a month until the election, polls show James Talarico, the Democratic candidate, ahead in Texas for the first time in decades, prompting Trump to warn that voting for Talarico would be unforgivable for Texans.
