Paxton vs Cornyn: Battle for Texas Senate | Amarillo News

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is doubling down after Senator John Cornyn called him a “lazy” campaigner, insisting he’s working 18 hours a day across the state and raising funds—even reaching out to Cornyn’s former donors. Cornyn, who lost to Paxton in the Senate runoff, criticized his fundraising and messaging, saying Paxton’s race against Democrat James Talarico is unnecessarily tough. But polls show Talarico leading with a sizable financial edge, and voters remain split—making this the closest Senate race in Texas in decades. Paxton remains confident, but the odds are stacked against him. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
