President Trump heads to Texas to boost Ken Paxton ahead of midterm elections
Trump will headline a high-dollar fundraiser as donors pay thousands, while his campaign account adds to a push for Ken Paxton in a tight race.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump is heading to Houston to headline a Republican fundraiser for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, aiming to bolster the candidate's struggling U.S. Senate bid against Democrat James Talarico.
- Paxton faces significant political headwinds, as recent polls show him trailing Talarico in the race for the United States Senate seat, which Democrats have not held in the state since 1993.
- GOP donors, citing Paxton's fundraising struggles, have pressured Trump to "rescue" the campaign, arguing it is "Trump's responsibility to bankroll" the effort following his endorsement over John Cornyn.
- Political analysts at the University of Virginia shifted the contest to a toss-up on Wednesday, citing Paxton's fundraising struggles and lingering party resentment over his primary victory against Cornyn.
- Trump plans to continue his campaign stops in the coming weeks, despite surveys showing his approval rating underwater in 47 states, including key battlegrounds where the Republican Party faces tough midterm races.
