Trump Campaigns in Texas for Paxton’s Senate Bid
PN Team • 1 week ago
President Donald Trump held rallies in Corpus Christi and Lubbock, his sixth Texas visit this year, to boost Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton ahead of the November 3 midterms. Trump touted energy policy, including plans to ease federal methane emission standards, and cast Democratic opponent State Rep. James Talarico as too liberal for Texas. Talarico campaigned across West Texas and held a competing rally in Lubbock the same night. Trump also appeared with Eric Flores, a Republican running in redrawn TX-34. Early voting data shows Democratic-primary voters currently outpacing Republican-primary voters, a reversal from 2022.
