Ken Paxton Privately Said Trump's Convention Hurt His Numbers

Original: Ken Paxton, G.O.P. Nominee in Texas, Privately Said Trump’s Convention Hurt Him

Texas Senator and Trump loyalist Ken Paxton said privately that 'everybody's numbers dropped' after the Republican National Convention, according to audio obtained by The New York Times. The remark from one of the party's top Senate candidates contradicts the Trump-aligned claim that the convention boosted Republican campaigns, and it is drawing attention as evidence of unease within the GOP over Trump's influence on swing and red-state races.

Why now: The leaked audio contradicts Trump allies' public claims that the Republican convention helped their campaigns.
