Detailed Factual Report
Washington — Democrat James Talarico on Wednesday said his win over Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race delivered a message to Elon Musk, who spent more than $150 million to boost Paxton's candidacy: "Texas is not for sale."
Hours after his projected win over Paxton , Talarico told "CBS Mornings" that his victory is an opportunity to get big money out of politics "for good."
"The people of Texas delivered a crystal-clear message to the world's first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale," Talarico said. "The power in this state, in this country, belongs to the people and we've got to make sure it stays that way."
The Texas Democrat said his win over Paxton is a mandate to overhaul the campaign finance system and "clean up government" to limit the influence of megadonors like Musk.
