Ken Paxton caught privately blaming Trump for campaign slump
Original: ken
Texas US Senate candidate Ken Paxton, an ally of Donald Trump running in what Republicans consider a must-win race, was reported to have privately criticised the president, saying Trump's GOP convention in Texas hurt his campaign and dropped his poll numbers. Outlets including the New York Times and Reuters carried the remarks, drawing attention to tensions between Paxton and Trump ahead of the midterms.
Why now: Reports that a pro-MAGA candidate privately trashed Trump are politically damaging and could affect a key Senate race.
