Republicans fret as Talarico bombards airwaves and Paxton awaits Trump team's campaign cash
Senate GOP leaders warned President Donald Trump not to endorse state Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas primary election, amid concerns about the financial implications for Paxton's campaign if Trump were to donate cash directly to his team. However, Republicans are now worried that Paxton's outspoken ally Talarico is bombarding the airwaves and drawing attention away from Cornyn.
Senate GOP leaders warned President Donald Trump that his endorsement of Ken Paxton over incumbent John Cornyn in the Texas primary election could bring financial and political repercussions for Republicans if Paxton were to win, according to sources. The warning came as Paxton has been bombarding the airwaves with advertisements, while Republican leaders anxiously await the arrival of a significant influx of cash from Trump's team. According to reports, Paxton is seen as a more favorable candidate for the billionaire president who endorsed him over Cornyn in May. As tensions rise within the party, it remains to be seen how this will impact the outcome of the election.
