Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is attempting to alleviate growing Republican concerns about his Senate campaign by shifting the focus to tax deductions and appearing alongside state lawmakers who previously voted to impeach him. This strategy comes amid criticism of his handling of sensitive cases, particularly those involving the late President Donald Trump.
