Recent polls show that Democratic candidate James Talarico and Republican candidate Ken Paxton are currently tied in the Texas U.S. Senate race. This happens at the same time that the Republican party has announced a national convention in Dallas.

最近的民調顯示，民主黨候選人 James Talarico 與共和黨候選人 Ken Paxton 目前在德州參議院選舉中持平。與此同時，共和黨宣布將在達拉斯舉行全國代表大會。

The election in Texas is currently a deadlock, with a New York Times/Siena College survey showing both candidates at 47% support. This is surprising because Republicans have traditionally dominated the state. Talarico, a former teacher and state representative, has raised a significant $27 million in the first quarter of the year. Furthermore, he is leading by 27 points among independent voters and is preferred by 61% of Hispanic voters. In contrast, Paxton, the state attorney general, leads among male voters and is supported by President Donald Trump. However, Paxton's campaign is hindered by several legal problems, including an impeachment and a fraud case. Consequently, many voters question his character, with fewer than 40% viewing him positively.

德州的選舉目前陷入僵局，《紐約時報》與 سيينا學院的調查顯示，兩位候選人的支持率均為 47%。這令人驚訝，因為共和黨傳統上一直主導該州。Talarico 作為前教師及州代表，在今年第一季籌集了高達 2,700 萬美元。此外，他在獨立選民中領先 27 個百分點，並獲得 61% 西班牙裔選民的青睞。相反，州檢察總長 Paxton 在男性選民中領先，並獲得總統川普的支持。然而，Paxton 的競選活動受多項法律問題困擾，包括被彈劾以及一宗詐欺案。因此，許多選民質疑其品格，僅有不到 40% 的人對其持正面看法。

To support their candidate, the Republican National Committee has changed its rules to hold a national convention in Dallas on September 9 and 10. The goal of this event is to encourage voter turnout and energize supporters during the midterm elections. By choosing Dallas, the party hopes to focus its resources on the Texas race, which is essential for the GOP to keep its small majority in the Senate. While Republicans are highlighting the administration's successes, Talarico has emphasized the rising cost of living and economic instability. Despite these efforts, both candidates face challenges; many voters believe Talarico is too liberal, while half of the electorate views Paxton as too extreme.

為了支持其候選人，共和黨全國委員會更改規則，將於 9 月 9 日和 10 日在達拉斯舉行全國代表大會。此次活動的目標是在期中選舉期間鼓勵選民投票並激勵支持者。透過選擇達拉斯，該黨希望將資源集中在德州選舉，這對於共和黨維持在參議院的微弱多數優勢至關重要。雖然共和黨強調政府的成就，但 Talarico 則強調生活成本上升和經濟不穩定。儘管如此，兩位候選人都面臨挑戰：許多選民認為 Talarico 過於自由派，而半數選民則認為 Paxton 過於極端。

The Texas Senate race remains undecided. The final result will likely depend on the success of the Republican convention and whether the candidates can overcome the negative perceptions of their political views.

德州參議院選舉仍未定論。最終結果可能取決於共和黨全國代表大會的成效，以及候選人是否能克服選民對其政治觀點的負面看法。
