Democrat James Talarico, a former teacher and seminarian, won a Texas U.S. Senate race against Republican challenger Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general. Talarico is described in the report as the Senator-elect and as having flipped the seat.
In an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, Talarico said the Democratic showing in the midterm elections went beyond party lines. He said Texans from across the state had demanded change.
Talarico campaigned on lowering costs and fighting corruption. The report said Paxton's campaign was overshadowed by fraud and corruption allegations, which Paxton has denied.
