## Summary

President Donald Trump used rallies in Corpus Christi and Lubbock to attack Democratic Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico and urge support for Republican Ken Paxton. Trump said Talarico believed Jesus would promote sex changes for children, a claim based on Talarico’s remarks that Jesus would bless transgender children who were bullied. The dispute highlights how Talarico’s support for trans rights has become a focus of the closely fought contest.

Trump also accused Talarico of wanting to restrict guns, oil and meat, while Paxton’s campaign has portrayed him as a vegan despite his eating meat. Paxton suggested Trump might one day move to Lubbock and said West Texas could be pivotal in the election. Trump backed Paxton, who faces scrutiny over past corruption scandals and a high-profile separation, after choosing him over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Republican primary.
