Texas GOP Senate candidates scarce in public but unavoidable on TV in final day of runoff campaign
Texas Republican Senate candidates are largely absent from public view on the final day of campaigning before the runoff election. Instead, they are focusing on advertising, which has exceeded $109 million, particularly from Sen. John Cornyn's campaign. The candidates' strategies reflect their ongoing rivalry, intensified by endorsements and criticisms from former President Donald Trump.
