00:02In Texas, President Trump went all-in for Republican Ken Paxton, but even that wasn't
00:07enough to save the Senate seat. Paxton, the state's attorney general, lost to Democrat
00:11James Tallarico by nearly a million votes. And Tallarico, who's set to become the youngest
00:16member of the U.S. Senate, had a message for his supporters on election night.
00:24We just took back Texas.
00:35We just proved that all the money in the world is no match for the people of Texas.
00:47We just showed that a politics of division is no match for a politics of love.
00:57Paxton, for his part, opened his concession speech with a message for the man who defeated
01:02him. Well, let me start off by congratulating James Tallarico. I will commit that I will
01:06be praying for him, that he will do good for Texas and this nation.
01:10Tallarico's victory ends a 38-year drought for Texas Democrats in U.S. Senate elections.
