@channelnewsasia: Democrat James Talarico flipped a US Senate seat in traditional deep-Red state Texas on Tuesday (Nov 3), defeating Republican Ken Paxton to pull off the party’s first statewide victory since 1988. The 37-year-old state legislator and former middle school teacher will become the Senate’s youngest member. In his victory speech, Talarico touched on Elon Musk's failed US$224 million campaign in Texas to boost his favoured Republican candidates. "We just proved that all the money in the world is no match for the people of Texas," he said. #usnews #midterms
