As the midterm elections approached, the Waco Tribune-Herald listed several things to watch in Texas. The paper reported that the Republican agriculture commissioner is campaigning alongside the Democrat running to replace him.
The article said the Republican U.S. Senate nominee has been behind in the polls for the entire race. It also said the state comptroller warned, in capital letters, "WE ARE LOSING TEXAS."
The story also said national polls show Democrats with an edge in most key battleground states. It reported that President Donald Trump made a final pitch to voters and seemed to acknowledge that results might not go his way.
