Lubbock had its first visit from President Donald Trump on Oct. 27 as he campaigned for Texas’ Republican U.S. Senate candidate Attorney General Ken Paxton. Also in Lubbock at the same time, Democratic candidates were rallying around their U.S. Senate pick James Talarico. While Republicans stressed unity within the party and a focus on maintaining power, Democratic candidates called for change and attempted to reach across party lines.

Last night, Lubbock was the campaign stop for both Democrats and Republicans looking to win the vote in the Texas Senate race between State Representative James Talarico and Attorney General Ken Paxton — who was joined by President Donald Trump. KTTZ's Samantha Larned reports that Republican representatives and supporters expressed concerns over maintaining control in the state, while Talarico stressed his efforts to reach across party lines.
