  "account": "On the Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan broadcast, CBS News executive director of elections and surveys, Anthony Salvanto discussed the latest Texas poll. The poll showed the race to be incredibly tight, with a 51-49 advantage for the Democratic candidate. The key factor, Salvanto explained, was whether the Republican base could consolidate its support behind their candidate. In Texas, the incumbent Paxton was benefiting from this, but there were also concerns among voters about financial hardship due to rising prices.",
