## Resource

Ken Paxton’s momentum surges after his primary win, as GOP leaders in Washington rally behind him and Trump pledges personal campaign support—while incumbent John Cornyn still casts doubt on Paxton’s readiness. On the Democratic side, James Talarico is energizing North Texas with rallies and bold policy proposals on beef prices and fuel taxes, raising serious cash to challenge Paxton. Meanwhile, Governor Abbott remains unfazed, betting on Republican resilience and touting his public safety record against Democratic hype. The race is heating up—and November could decide Texas’s political future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
