Episode Details

Ken Paxton just won the Republican Senate nomination in Texas, a bruising runoff that exposed GOP fractures — and he’s got Trump’s full backing, already celebrating while praising his opponent John Cornyn. Now facing Democrat James Talarico, a pastor and state rep aiming to make history as the first Democrat to win statewide office in Texas in over three decades, Paxton’s got a tall task ahead. Trump’s already attacking Talarico with wild claims — calling him a cartoon character, mocking his veganism and pandemic mask support — while also bizarrely praising Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett as a better Democrat pick. With Trump planning rallies to energize the base, the stage is set for a fiery fall showdown in Texas.
