The matchup Democrats want in Texas

from The Playbook Podcast · host POLITICO

Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn in the Texas Republican primary — and Democrats couldn't be happier. But Paxton will face Democrat James Talarico come November, and that means a lot of campaign money will have to be raised between now and then. Playbook’s Jack Blanchard and Adam Wren get into all of this and more about the Lone Star state.
