James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, has returned to the campaign trail after a 10-day absence. He appeared at a music festival, explaining that he had been home recovering from a nasty case of the flu. His return comes as the race intensifies heading into the general election. Mr. Talarico had largely stayed out of public view during his illness, disappointing some supporters who hoped to see him more actively campaigning.
Now, with renewed energy, he is scheduled to appear at several events across the state. His campaign team emphasized his commitment to continuing his bid for the U.S. Senate, despite the setback. The Texas Senate race remains one of the most closely watched contests in the country this cycle.
