Thomas Massie\u2019s, R-Ky., seat, defeated the incumbent in the May 19 election. Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La., also finished ahead of Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., two days earlier in the state\u2019s GOP Senate primary. Trump\u2019s endorsement of Paxton came as he is frustrated with Cornyn\u2019s Republican colleagues over their resistance to some of his legislative priorities, including eliminating the filibuster, funding his East Wing ballroom project, refusing to fire the Senate parliamentarian and failing to pass legislation requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Paxton aligns more with Trump\u2019s hard-right base, and Cornyn is the more traditional conservative candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=42\">Billionaire Investor Doerr Calls AI \u2018Underhyped\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Why Is Paxton Controversial?<\/h2>\n<p>Paxton was suspended from office and impeached in 2023 over accusations of abuse of office, including using his position to benefit a donor and obstructing justice in a separate securities fraud case against him. Paxton was acquitted on all 16 articles of impeachment by the Texas state Senate. Paxton was indicted on securities fraud charges in 2015, shortly after he was first elected attorney general, for allegedly misleading investors by encouraging them to put money into a technology company without informing them he made commission on their investments. He reached a deal with prosecutors nearly a decade later that required him to pay restitution, but not admit guilt. Paxton\u2019s wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, filed for divorce from Paxton, to whom she was married for 38 years, last July, citing \u201crecent discoveries\u201d and adultery. Paxton has used his office to promote hard-right causes, including aggressively enforcing restrictions on abortion and gender-affirming care and immigration crackdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=40\">Full Moon June 2026: When To See The \u2018Strawberry Micromoon\u2019 Rise<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paxton faces Democrat James Talarico in the general election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ken Paxton Beats Sen.
