Paxton won’t say whether James Talarico is going to hell

In a surprising turn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who's also a Republican Senate nominee, dodged a question about whether his opponent James Talarico is headed to hell, deflecting by saying that such a judgment is "up to God." This comes amidst controversy over Talarico's own controversial remarks. The exchange underscores the ongoing tensions between the two candidates, highlighting how deeply personal and religious beliefs are becoming intertwined in their political battle. This situation reflects broader tensions within the Republican party as candidates navigate faith and policy in their campaigns.
