MAGA Inc. Announces $10 Million Ad Buy in Texas Senate Race

Outlets agree that MAGA Inc. is spending $10 million on ads in the Texas Senate race, supporting Ken Paxton and opposing James Talarico. The ads target Talarico’s tax positions, which his campaign disputes. Center outlets present the buy as a major intervention in a competitive race, pairing the tax attacks with Talarico’s campaign’s response and, in some coverage, broader spending or polling context. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Republican spending to support Paxton and oppose Talarico, with coverage also highlighting the race’s competitiveness and a broader GOP spending push.
