Ken Paxton Complains About Gas Prices And Iran War In Latest Leaked Audio
Leaked audio shows Paxton telling donors gas prices and Trump’s Iran war are hurting his Senate bid, with one recording calling them his biggest problem.
- In leaked audio, Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton privately identified the Iran War and rising fuel costs as his campaign's biggest problem during a closed-door fundraiser last month.
- Paxton cited diesel prices over $6 as a primary source of voter frustration, arguing that high energy costs drive up food prices and create broader affordability challenges affecting voters.
- The recording also captured Paxton admitting he has "no ability to change anything" regarding campaign strategy, expressing frustration that "it's all coming from D.C." while running against Democratic candidate James Talarico.
- A campaign spokesperson dismissed the recording as a "non-story," while President Donald Trump is scheduled to rally with Paxton in San Antonio on Wednesday.
- These comments emerge as critics question the "six-week war" in Iran, which has lasted more than seven months and cost more than $45 billion, with 22 U.S. servicemembers killed.
