Republican U.S. Senate nominee Ken Paxton canceled his planned final campaign rally at the Alamo two days before Election Day, replacing it with events in Conroe and Allen. The Alamo Trust said it was unaware of any plans for a political event on the grounds, which generally prohibit such gatherings. Paxton's campaign did not respond to questions about the change. The move followed other cancellations in El Paso, Tyler, Texarkana and Mission, drawing criticism from Democrats.
Paxton, the Texas attorney general, is in a close race against Democrat James Talarico, a state lawmaker and former teacher. Paxton has emphasized his conservative record and ties to President Donald Trump, while Talarico has portrayed the race as a fight against corruption and undue influence from Elon Musk, who has spent over $150 million to support Paxton. Early voting totals are high, with prediction markets favoring Talarico.
