It only takes 10 Republicans to save Ken Paxton. Will they? Y’all-itics Early Release: September 1, 2023
Description
Days before the Ken Paxton impeachment trial begins in the Texas Senate, several questions loom large. Can the “prior-term doctrine” save the suspended Attorney General? Will Ken Paxton testify? And it only takes 10 Republicans to prevent impeachment. Will they? In this early release episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons have a conversation with David Lethe, a Republican precinct chair in Paxton’s home of Collin County, and one of the few there to publicly support the impeachment trial. He is blunt when explaining why he thinks Paxton should resign. And they get answers from Matt Mackowiak, a GOP political consultant and chair of the Travis County Republican Party, who also gives odds for Paxton’s survival.
