Bush family members back Democrat James Talarico in Texas Senate race

Two members of the Bush family, the Republican political dynasty that counts Texas as its political launchpad, have backed Democrat James Talarico in the hotly fought race for a Senate seat in the Lone Star State.
Barbara Bush, daughter of ex-President George W Bush, has reportedly donated to Talarico's campaign, while her uncle, Neil Bush, says he backs the Democrat.
The Republican candidate, Ken Paxton, beat a primary challenge from Neil Bush's nephew, so the endorsement may be cast by critics as political sour grapes.
