Trump Vows Texas Rallies for Ken Paxton, Mocks James Talarico After 1-Week Endorsement
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 27
Trump said he will hold “big, beautiful rallies” for Ken Paxton in Texas after Paxton won Tuesday’s Republican Senate runoff over longtime Sen. John Cornyn.
In the same Truth Social post, Trump compared Democratic nominee James Talarico to Alfred E. Neuman and attacked him as weak on crime, anti-military and out of step with Texas voters.
Paxton secured Trump’s endorsement just 1 week before the runoff, then thanked him in his first post-victory interview as Republicans pivoted quickly toward the general election.
Talarico, a state representative seeking to become the first Democrat in nearly 4 decades to win a Texas Senate race, answered Paxton’s nomination by highlighting his 3 felony fraud indictments, bribery allegations and impeachment.
Do shifting voter demographics and record spending signal a major political realignment is underway in Texas?
