President Donald Trump claimed on X on October 8 that James Talafreko, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, is "missing in action." Trump said no one has seen him for an extended period of time and called for him to immediately debate Ken Paxton.
Trump wrote: "Ladies and Gentlemen, upon information and belief, James TalaFREAKo, who is running for the United States Senate in Texas, is MISSING IN ACTION! No one has seen him for an extended period of time. Where is he? What is wrong with him? Bad rumors are coming out. He should immediately report to a Debate Stage against Ken Paxton, who is ready, willing, and able, one of the best Attorney Generals in the Country, and will soon be, hopefully, a United States Senator representing the Great People of Texas!"
Trump praised Paxton as "one of the best Attorney Generals in the Country" and expressed support for his Senate campaign. Talafreko's campaign has not yet publicly responded to the claim.
