GOP Trying To Make the Texas Senate Race About 'Manliness'

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton could have picked any number of messages for his first Senate campaign ad of the general election back in May. Texans care a lot about cost of living, border security, healthcare, and corruption, among other issues. But Paxton's very first ad went with something that pollsters don't generally ask about. He accused his opponent, Democratic state Rep. James Talarico, of being "Too Low-T for Texas." Too low in testosterone. Not manly enough.
