With just one week remaining until Election Day, the final phase of the campaign is underway, PBS NewsHour Politics reported. President Donald Trump is making a campaign swing through Texas, a state traditionally held by Republicans but seen by Democrats as a potential area for gains.

The economy and the cost of everyday necessities are central issues for voters in this final stretch, according to PBS NewsHour Politics. This focus is shaping the messaging from both parties as they seek to mobilize support.

President Trump is aiming to support Republican candidates in Texas, including Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is in a close race against Democrat James Talarico. The president's visit marks his fourth trip to Texas during this campaign season, underscoring the state's importance.

Democrat James Talarico is also appealing to voters by addressing economic concerns and the cost of living, hoping to convert these issues into electoral support, PBS NewsHour Politics noted.

As the campaign enters its last week, both parties are intensifying efforts in Texas, a key battleground state, with the economy at the forefront of their strategies.
