Bad Blood in Texas Senate Race Tears Republicans Apart

“It’s been a brutal stretch for Republican Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton,” NBC News reports.

“Damaging leaks of his private conversations. Public details of his past romantic affairs. Regular jabs at his physical appearance.”

“The curious part about it all? At least some of his allies are convinced the sabotage is coming from within his own party.”

“In the waning days of a campaign that could help decide control of the Senate, Texas Republicans remain bitterly at odds since a May primary ousted longtime Republican Sen. John Cornyn and installed Paxton as the nominee with President Donald Trump’s help.”
