Cogdell, a moderate Democrat with Republican-leaning past donations, says he respects Paxton personally but believes the AG is too focused on pleasing Trump rather than serving Texas. He argues the state needs real progress on education and healthcare, not political loyalty. Talarico’s endorsement could be a game-changer for Democrats in a fiercely contested Senate seat, especially as Paxton, backed by Trump, narrowly defeated Senator Cornyn in the GOP primary. Meanwhile, Paxton’s legal team continues to support him, making this political shift all the more significant. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
