President Donald Trump on Wednesday night called for a debate between the two leading candidates in the Texas Senate race.

Trump posted on Truth Social saying that Democrat James Talarico should "immediately report to a debate stage against Ken Paxton," calling the Republican attorney general "ready, willing and able." Talarico has challenged Paxton to a debate multiple times, most recently he said he would debate Paxton on Fox News with host Bret Baier as a moderator.

Paxton's campaign has not responded to a request for comment about a potential debate.
