得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿在周三特朗普总统于圣安东尼奥举行的集会上，就民主党候选人缺席竞选活动一事提出质疑，此事在11月中期选举不到一个月之际引发了对手竞选团队的回应。
帕克斯顿带领人群高呼“塔拉里科在哪？”，同时坚称这位民主党人已有11天未在得州开展竞选活动。
塔拉里科的竞选团队告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这位民主党人当时因流感病倒，预计将于本周末重返竞选活动。

“在举办了100多场公开活动、与数万名选民握手后，詹姆斯染上了流感，但他将于本周末重返竞选活动，”塔拉里科的竞选发言人JT·恩尼斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“肯·帕克斯顿整个竞选期间都对得州选民置之不理，他的优先事项一目了然：他不对本州民众负责。他只对自己的亿万富翁大额捐赠者和特殊利益集团负责。”
塔拉里科竞选团队发言人JT·恩尼斯的这份声明还批评了帕克斯顿的竞选优先事项，反驳了这位共和党人的言论，两人目前正在竞争美国参议院席位。
特朗普在发言中也对塔拉里科的行踪提出质疑，在为帕克斯顿助选时多次提及这位民主党人的缺席。

这位总统毫无根据地暗示，塔拉里科是因出于政治目的食用肉类而病倒，并嘲讽这位民主党人的饮食偏好。
特朗普还批评了塔拉里科在移民、公共安全和教育方面的立场，同时赞扬了帕克斯顿作为得克萨斯州总检察长的政绩，并敦促选民支持他的参议院竞选。
总统强调了得州这场选举对共和党维持国会控制权的重要性，并告诫支持者民主党若在参议院获得席位将带来的后果。

特朗普在圣安东尼奥的露面是中期选举前动员共和党选民整体计划的一部分。他敦促参会选民参与提前投票——得州提前投票将于10月19日开始——或在选举日投票。

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton questioned Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s absence from the campaign trail during President Donald Trump’s rally in San Antonio Wednesday, prompting a response from his opponent’s campaign less than a month before the November midterm elections.
Paxton led the crowd in chanting “Where is Talarico?” while asserting that the Democrat had not been seen campaigning in Texas for 11 days.
Talarico’s campaign told Fox News Digital the Democrat has been sick with the flu and is expected to return to the campaign trail this weekend.

“After holding more than 100 public events and shaking tens of thousands of hands, James came down with the flu but will be back on the trail this weekend,” JT Ennis, a campaign spokesperson for Talarico, told Fox News Digital.
“Ken Paxton has been ignoring Texans this entire campaign, and his priorities are clear: He doesn’t answer to the people of this state. He answers to his billionaire megadonors and special interests.”
The statement from Talarico campaign spokesperson JT Ennis also criticized Paxton’s campaign priorities, pushing back against the Republican’s remarks as the two candidates compete for a U.S. Senate seat.
Trump also questioned Talarico’s whereabouts during his remarks, repeatedly referencing the Democrat’s absence while campaigning on Paxton’s behalf.

The president suggested without evidence that Talarico had become sick after eating meat for political reasons, mocking the Democrat’s dietary preferences.
Trump also criticized Talarico’s positions on immigration, public safety and education, while praising Paxton’s record as Texas attorney general and urging voters to support his Senate bid.
The president emphasized the importance of the Texas race to Republicans’ efforts to maintain control of Congress, warning supporters about the consequences of Democrats gaining seats in the Senate.
