Asked who should get a Texas voter's ballot for U.S. Senate, chatbots pick Democrat James Talarico about 48 percent of the time, ahead of Republican Ken Paxton at 37.5 percent and Libertarian Ted Brown far behind. Betting markets are more bullish on Talarico still, giving him a 62.5 percent chance to win, while recent polling puts him at 48.6 percent of the vote to Paxton's 44.3 percent. None of that shifted much today, the chatbots barely moved, the markets ticked down slightly on Talarico, and polling is unchanged from three weeks ago. This is the same gap this site has reported for over a week, markets remain more confident in Talarico than the chatbots are.
