@tsafterthebell: Who had more money behind them in Texas? The answer flips when you look at outside spending. Texas topped the six most expensive Senate races of 2026 at $579.2 million. Talarico’s campaign spent nearly 8 times as much as Paxton’s, but outside groups spent nearly 3 times as much benefiting Paxton as Talarico. The total combines what both campaigns reported spending during the election cycle with what outside groups reported spending during the general election.
