Spencer Pratt says he was told Democratic candidate Talarico is in mental health facility
Paxton’s campaign is demanding medical proof while Talarico’s team says the Democrat had the flu and returned to meet voters.
- On Friday, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico re-emerged at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, ending a nine-day absence from the campaign trail.
- Talarico stepped off the trail last week after disclosing a flu diagnosis on September 30 during a virtual event, citing concerns about spreading illness.
- During his absence, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched a "Tala-Freak-Out Tip Line" demanding "proof of life," while President Donald Trump labeled Talarico "MISSING IN ACTION."
- Campaign spokesperson JT Ennis dismissed online conspiracy theories, stating, "Hate to disappoint the conspiracy theorists, but James is still alive and meeting with voters at ACL today."
- With early voting beginning October 19, Talarico is set to headline a CNN town hall next week, facing Paxton in a race where recent polls show a tight 50%-44% lead.
