With the National Republican Senatorial Committee now backing Paxton and launching a joint fundraising effort, the GOP’s Texas Senate race has shifted dramatically — but not without controversy. Paxton’s legal history and impeachment record are already raising alarms among establishment Republicans and big donors, who fear he’ll be vulnerable in the general election. Meanwhile, Democrat James Talarico, a former teacher gaining momentum, is positioning himself as a moderate alternative to appeal to suburban voters — a key demographic where Republicans are already showing signs of weakness. Trump’s support energized the conservative base, but it also handed Democrats a potent campaign weapon: a candidate whose personal baggage could dominate the fall race.
