Todd examines unanswered questions surrounding Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's nearly two-week absence from the campaign trail and his explanation that he had a severe case of the flu. He challenges PBS NewsHour's framing of reports about Talarico as conspiracy theories and misinformation, reviews apparent inconsistencies in the candidate's travel and urgent-care timeline, and argues that political campaigns create distrust when they manage appearances instead of answering basic questions directly.
