Video: Fox's Brooke Taylor Says the Texas Senate Race Has Shattered the Nonpresidential Ad Spending Record
A short Fox News segment on the final pitches from Ken Paxton and James Talarico. We relied on Fox's title and description, not a transcript, so the clip's dollar figures are not reported here.
Fox News posted a clip titled "Texas US Senate race shatters nonpresidential ad spending record," from its weekend show "The Big Weekend Show."
What Fox says. According to the description, correspondent Brooke Taylor reports on the Texas Senate race as Republican nominee Ken Paxton and Democratic nominee James Talarico make their final pitches to voters before Election Day.
The context. Texas is one of the most closely watched Senate contests of the cycle. Our earlier coverage includes the Fox News poll that had Paxton and Talarico tied, the final Times/Siena survey that has Talarico ahead by seven points, and a Breitbart report that Talarico's private polling shows a tighter race than public surveys. Texas votes Tuesday.
What we could not check. This post summarizes a short video. We relied on Fox News's title and description, not a transcript, so we cannot say how much was spent, which side spent more, or where the figures come from. Treat the record claim as Fox's until you see the numbers.
