The National Rifle Association announced Wednesday that it is launching a multi-million-dollar campaign for the 2026 midterm elections, featuring its first major television ad of the cycle. The advertisement targets Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, highlighting a 2020 video in which he endorsed banning assault weapons and limiting magazine capacity.

The NRA’s ad buy comes as Talarico has consistently led Republican opponent Ken Paxton in polling for the Texas Senate seat.
