Trump Campaigns in Texas to Support Paxton Amid Tight 2026 Senate Race
President Donald Trump made his third Texas visit in under a month to support Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton amid a competitive 2026 midterm race. Trump addressed protests during a rally, clarified comments on the Iran conflict, and emphasized protecting U.S. cities. Texas, traditionally Republican, has become a key battleground with Paxton facing Democrat James Talarico in a closer-than-expected contest. Republicans are investing heavily to maintain control amid challenges like low approval ratings, the Iran war, and rising gas prices.
