跟进：美联社宣布塔拉里科赢得德克萨斯州参议员选举 民主党1988年以来首次
美联社11月3日晚宣布，民主党候选人 James Talarico 赢得德克萨斯州联邦参议员选举，击败获特朗普总统支持的共和党候选人、州总检察长 Ken Paxton。德克萨斯州位于美国南部，是全美人口第二大州；这是民主党自1988年以来首次赢得该州的联邦参议员席位，也是自1994年以来首次赢得该州全州性选举。
美联社结果页快照显示，全州9,900个选区中已有6,616个报告结果，约占66.83%；Talarico 得票4,125,080张，Paxton 得票2,731,396张。计票仍在继续，上述票数为非官方数字，最终结果以州选举部门认证为准。本站当晚稍早的计票进展显示，Talarico 以350.9万票暂时领先，宣布当选是这一结果的最终阶段。
现年37岁的 Talarico 是 Austin 选出的州众议员，曾任教师。他接替的是退休的共和党参议员 John Cornyn 留下的席位：Cornyn 在共和党初选决选中败给 Paxton。这场选举的广告支出超过5.73亿美元，是美国历史上最昂贵的非总统选举。

Follow-up: AP Calls Texas Senate Race for Talarico, a First Democratic Win Since 1988
The Associated Press called the Texas U.S. Senate race on the evening of November 3 for Democrat James Talarico, who defeated Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton, the candidate backed by President Donald Trump. Texas, in the southern United States, is the nation's second most populous state; it is the first time a Democrat has won a U.S. Senate seat from Texas since 1988, and the first Democratic statewide win in Texas since 1994.
The AP results page showed 6,616 of the state's 9,900 precincts reporting, about 66.83%, with Talarico at 4,125,080 votes and Paxton at 2,731,396. Counting is continuing; the figures are unofficial and final results are subject to certification by state election officials. GSM's earlier count update that evening had Talarico leading with about 3.51 million votes, and the call marks the final stage of that count.
Talarico, 37, a state representative from Austin and a former teacher, takes the seat left open by retiring Republican Senator John Cornyn, who lost the Republican primary runoff to Paxton. More than $573 million was spent on advertising in the race, making it the most expensive nonpresidential contest in U.S. history.
