Donors Strike New Tone About Helping Paxton

“For months, Republican donors insisted they didn’t want to bankroll Ken Paxton’s Texas Senate race after President Donald Trump endorsed him over long-time incumbent John Cornyn,” Politico reports.

“To them, that decision made bailing out Paxton the president’s responsibility.”

“But polls have deteriorated in the weeks ahead of the midterm election so much so that many of these same donors are dropping their objections. The only thing that matters now, they say, is keeping the Senate – by whatever means necessary.”
