Episode Details

Ken Paxton just won the Texas Senate runoff—and the NRSC is now fully behind him, marking a dramatic pivot after previously backing his primary rival, John Cornyn. The GOP’s top fundraising arm is teaming up with Paxton, scrubbing past controversies from social media and shifting focus to digital and direct mail to unify behind him ahead of the general election. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is set to meet with Paxton, underscoring the GOP’s urgency to hold the seat red, while NRSC Chair Tim Scott publicly endorsed Paxton alongside President Trump, calling for party unity. Paxton now faces state Rep. James Talarico in a race analysts label “Lean Republican,” as Texas Republicans rally to secure a historic win and maintain their Senate majority.
