Donald Trump has said he will help Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race, but the scale of spending by Trump's political operation remains unclear. James Talarico has outspent Republicans on race advertising.

Center outlets emphasize Republican concern over Paxton's financial backing and Talarico's advertising advantage; their accounts tell the story in much the same way.
