Top Democrats Start to Fund James Talarico in Texas Senate Race

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the Texas Senate race as a campaign money story, with the New York Times focusing on Democrats beginning to support James Talarico and CNN on Republican groups pouring money into backing Ken Paxton. The Times is alone in saying the Senate Democrats’ main super PAC will start digital ads in the race and reading that as a sign of growing confidence. CNN is alone in giving a specific $166 million figure and an ad-frequency detail for Paxton’s campaign.
