Summary
President Trump drops major news by endorsing Ken Paxton in the heated Texas Senate race as early voting gets underway, and Joe Pags breaks down whether the endorsement could lock up the runoff and strengthen Republicans against Democrat James Talarico. Then, Pags sounds off on Congress going after Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, and law enforcement leadership simply because they were appointed by Trump — despite what he says are major successes.
