Episode Details

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, facing a high-stakes Senate race against Democratic challenger James Talarico, is once again battling the fallout from his controversial past—fraud indictments, impeachment accusations, and a messy divorce—while Republicans worry his baggage could cost them dearly. Despite past legal setbacks and a recent DOJ decision not to prosecute corruption claims, Paxton’s campaign is bracing for a costly defense, with some estimating it could run $150 million. Talarico is capitalizing on the drama, seeing a fundraising surge since Paxton won the primary, as analysts now label the race “lean Republican” rather than “likely Republican.”
