Fox News agreed Tuesday to host a debate between Senate candidates Ken Paxton (R) and James Talarico (D) of Texas following the Democrat’s challenge to face his opponent on what he characterized as friendly turf.

“Debates best serve voters and the democratic process when both candidates participate and voters have the opportunity to compare positions on the issues,” a Fox News Media spokesperson told The Washington Post in a statement. “We will move forward with the debate if both candidates commit to appearing.”

Paxton has not yet agreed to the debate, and his campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. His campaign expressed openness to debates earlier this year but has yet to agree to any.
“Ball’s in your court, Ken,” Talarico said in a statement.

The last Senate race in Texas not to have a debate was in 2000.
The two candidates are participating in Q&As hosted by the U.S. Hispanic Business Council this week.
Paxton’s event was Monday, and Talarico’s is Wednesday.

If that’s the case why won’t he agree to debate him? Do you ever get tired of saying idiotic things with no basis in reality?

Fox hosting was Talarico’s idea even though he’s up in the polls, several by good margins.

Paxton is still too chicken to agree.

Because it's not even a fricking race - why should he? Oh you must be one of the ones who clings on to the queer boy Harry Enton or whatever his name is on CNN

Everything on CNN is fake except for Harry Enton who said the Wisconsin freak was going to win by 16-18 points and she ended up losing Bigly lol

Again, your ability to be a complete moron is off the charts. Paxton’s team has been begging for help; you think they’re doing that because it’s “not a race”. I still can’t see Talarico winning in Texas, but to act like it’s not a possibility is moronic. Which is on point for you.

To act like Paxton’s team is worried is moronic. You are the complete moron here. Paxton beat Cornyn, who outspent Paxton 10-1, over 100 mil, 63%-36% in the runoff.

You’re one of the dumbest posters on here.

Well…politically since Paxton is basically guaranteed to win, it’s smart on his part.

However, you’re not wrong. He doesn’t want to get on the stage. He’s terrified, as was showed when he ran away from cameras and dropped his side piece in Europe on 4th of July weekend.

Are you aware that in a Republican primary only Republicans vote, but in a general election Republicans, Democrats and Independents all vote. You think Democrats and Independents voting could make a difference?? Why are you so clueless?

You sound like you are a clueless moron about Senate races and campaigns.

As a born Texan of lengthy tooth, I think it's pathetic this state has boiled the stock down to both of these absolute dorks. This race is nothing to be proud of.

Talarico knows full well Corrupt Ken isn’t going to debate. He’s put it in his ads about the Fox proposal and playing the hand as long as it lasts.
