‘He May Not Be the Best-Looking Guy’

“Republicans are moving to shore up Ken Paxton’s faltering Senate bid, as party donors’ and leaders’ concerns mount and they privately call for the Texas attorney general to step up fundraising and campaign appearances,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“A group aligned with the Republican Senate Leadership Fund expects to spend at least $50 million—and likely substantially more—to boost Paxton’s campaign against Democratic candidate James Talarico, a person familiar with the plan said. Anxiety about Paxton follows the Republican Midterm Convention this past week in Dallas, where President Trump made multiple jabs at Paxton’s appearance and voice, before urging voters to turn out for him.”
