Ken Paxton said during a tele-town hall tonight that the GOP’s midterm convention will be in Dallas in September.
Part of his response when asked how much Trump will campaign for him >
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick says James Talarico is “going to Hell”:
“I’ve never seen so much blasphemy from anyone running for office… He’s going to Hell, for sure.”
NEW: @lsrpac will run a radio ad on conservative radio in Houston tomorrow during @TexasGOP's convention. The ad is voiced by Republican and former Tarrant County judge Glen Whitley saying "I won't vote for Ken Paxton" & urging others not to either https://t.co/P3RfrIi5kk
Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning?
TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.
@reaganreese_@DailyCaller Careful, it's a slippery slop slope... as proven by this AI-generated Ken Paxton singing a corruption-themed version of "Memory" from Cats.
🚨 @KenPaxtonTX’s impeachment lawyer endorses @jamestalarico.
Says a lot when your wife of 40 years AND your personal lawyer refuse to support your run for U.S. Senate.
NEWS — Ken Paxton’s impeachment defense lawyer is endorsing Democrats James Talarico for Senate, @NOTUSreports scoops
Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton in his 2023 impeachment trial and several personal cases, told NOTUS in a statement that Paxton “has lost sight of his core mission”
Cogdell is well-connected in Texas GOP politics, and has represented top state party officials. He donated $6,500 to Paxton’s campaign, contributing as recently as last year
But he’s been critical of Trump. A clip of him calling Trump the “greatest threat” to democracy was even turned into an NRSC attack ad last year. It’s been scrubbed from the web.
Talarico said in statement “if you voted for John Cornyn, you have a place in this campaign.”

Quite the day for campaign strategery
Crooked @KenPaxtonTX let a child sexual abuser go free. He offered the predator one day in jail. One day.
Fellow GOPer @leachfortexas called Paxton's move "incomprehensible"

As Paxton makes rounds in DC this week, does Cornyn plan to meet w him?
“No,” Cornyn told me.
Does he stand by his criticism of Paxton, including calling him a “crook?”
“Yes,” Cornyn said.
Is Paxton fit to serve?
“I've said no, he's not. But he won the race fair and square”
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) tells CNN he stands by his criticism of Ken Paxton including calling him a crook.
Cornyn has he hasn’t spoken to Paxton after losing his primary and doesn’t plan to meet or speak with him.
