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.
60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
The coverage does not converge on the same race at all: 60 Minutes is alone in foregrounding CBS News data showing the South Carolina Senate race as leaning Republican. Vox’s three items instead focus on Texas, with one framing the contest as close, one emphasizing campaign coverage, and one highlighting masculinity-themed attacks by Ken Paxton’s side.
