Fight for Texas. Trump personally came to support Paxton, called the Democratic opponent a communist
In Texas, Donald Trump supported Republican candidate Ken Paxton amid concerns of losing the Senate seat. Paxton faces multiple scandals, and Trump's endorsement comes as Republicans fear losing control after over thirty years. During a rally, Trump labeled Democratic opponent James Talarica a communist, while Paxton's support among attendees was lukewarm. Many Republicans express doubts about Paxton's candidacy due to his controversies, yet they feel compelled to vote for him to prevent a Democratic win. Polls indicate Paxton is slightly trailing in a tight race, raising alarms for the GOP in traditionally Republican states.
