  • Texas Democrat James Talarico's Campaign Trail Disappearance Sparks Intense Questions: live updates. Conservative commentator Carmine Sabia apologized and retracted the hospital claim Oct. 13, while Current Revolt founder Tony Ortiz walked back his blog’s reporting Oct. 12. Trump again questioned Talarico’s flu explanation in Alaska on Oct. 13, describing a 12- to 14-day absence, although the AP reported nine days without a public appearance. CNN announced an Oct. 14 town hall with Talarico in Fort Worth at 8 p.m. Eastern, moderated by Erin Burnett, and said Paxton had not responded to an invitation. Security-camera images placed Talarico at his Austin home Oct. 1-8, Lindner Center of Hope denied treating him, and the fuller hospital-rumor recording repeatedly indicated that no one named Talarico appeared in the woman’s records. Talarico disclosed his flu diagnosis Sept. 30 and returned to public appearances Oct. 9, hours after Paxton’s campaign launched a sightings tip line, while Stephen Miller demanded his medical records Oct. 11. Trump called for a Talarico-Paxton debate after the Oct. 7 San Antonio rally, Talarico welcomed the demand and renewed his challenge, and NBC News reported Oct. 12 that no debates were scheduled.
