James Talarico fires back at Elon Musk in Texas Senate race feud
Barbara Bush, daughter of former US President George W Bush, donated $2,500 to a Democratic Senate candidate's political action committee in Texas. The contribution, made on September 23 to Lone Star Rising PAC, was disclosed in the committee's third-quarter 2026 filing with the Federal Election Commission. Barbara Bush, a 44-year-old executive at the NBA and co-founder of Global Health Corps, donated as a symbolic gesture, given her family's ties to the Republican Party.
The donation, while small, could indicate the Republican establishment's leanings in the race. James Talarico, a Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Texas, is challenging Republican Ken Paxton. Talarico, a Texas House of Representatives member, has criticized the influence of wealthy donors in American politics.
