In a move that has sparked controversy and raised eyebrows, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a scathing attack on his Democratic opponent, state Representative James Talarico, labeling him "too low-T for Texas." The comment, which appears to be a reference to testosterone levels, has injected a highly unusual and potentially divisive element into the Texas Senate primary runoff. Paxton's remarks have been met with criticism from both sides of the aisle, with some accusing him of resorting to personal attacks and others defending his right to question Talarico's qualifications. As the general election heats up, it remains to be seen how this unorthodox tactic will play out in the highly competitive Texas Senate race.


Soon after winning the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff, Ken Paxton attacked Democratic nominee, state Rep. James Talarico as "too low-T for Texas," putting manhood front and center in the race.
