## Resource

Texas’ Attorney General race is heating up as Democrat Nathan Johnson and Republican Mayes Middleton clash over corruption, with Johnson accusing Middleton of echoing disgraced AG Ken Paxton’s tactics while Middleton vows to purge “progressive” district attorneys. Polls show Middleton with a slight edge, possibly fueled by Texans’ trust in Republicans and Middleton’s impeachment acquittal vote—something Johnson is hammering home. Experts warn that turnout in the Senate race may overshadow AG campaign dynamics, and ticket-splitting could upend lower-ballot outcomes. The battle hinges on which party’s base shows up—and whether voters see reform or more of the same. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
