Ken Paxton’s estranged wife urges Texans to vote but fails to endorse him

Ken Paxton Donald Trump John Cornyn Angela Paxton Texas
  • Angela Paxton, a Republican state senator and estranged wife of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , urged Republicans to vote in Tuesday's primary runoff but notably omitted her husband from her endorsements for key state offices.
  • Ken Paxton is competing against incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the runoff for a Senate seat, with the winner set to face Democrat James Talarico in the general election.
  • Donald Trump endorsed Ken Paxton, criticizing Cornyn for his past lack of support and late backing of Trump's 2024 campaign.
  • Republicans, including Cornyn, express concern that Paxton's candidacy, given his past impeachment by the Texas House and ongoing divorce proceedings, could make the Senate seat vulnerable to Democrats, despite Texas's Republican leanings.
  • Democrats view the Texas Senate race as a potential flip opportunity, with Senator Alex Padilla indicating it will be a key focus for the party in the upcoming November elections.
