The issue that could tip the scales in the Texas Senate race
The contest between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico may determine control of the U.S. Senate. "Sunday Morning" talks with the candidates' supporters and local observers about a race that has drawn interest from around the country.
Fox News
What the coverage shows
CBS News frames the race as a potential Senate control decider and emphasizes the scale of spending, calling it the most expensive contest so far and featuring supporters and local observers. Fox News instead headlines the ad-spending angle, saying the race shatters the nonpresidential ad spending record and focusing on the candidates’ final pitches. Both outlets center Ken Paxton and James Talarico, but only CBS foregrounds the wider Senate stakes.
