George W. Bush and Cornyn Leave Out Paxton as They Raise Cash for Senate Candidates
The event benefits Maintain the Majority and supports six Senate candidates, with entry contributions ranging from $1,000 to $61,500, according to the invitation.
- On Monday, former President George W. Bush and Sen. John Cornyn hosted a Dallas fundraiser for the Maintain the Majority committee, notably excluding Texas Senate nominee Ken Paxton from the guest list.
- This snub reflects the deepening rift between establishment Bush-era Republicans and the insurgent wing represented by Paxton, who defeated Cornyn in a costly primary fight earlier this year.
- The event supports six Republican Senate candidates, including Susan Collins and John E. Sununu, with donors contributing between $1,000 and $61,500 to attend the fundraiser.
- Paxton, who trails Democratic opponent James Talarico in fundraising, defended his work ethic on Fox News, insisting he works "18-hour days" despite Cornyn's past claims he is a "poor campaigner."
- Internal conflict deepened last week when longtime Bush adviser Karl Rove criticized nominee Bo French, prompting President Donald Trump to call Rove a "stone-cold loser" on Truth Social.
