Republicans brace for money problems in Texas after Ken Paxton’s win
Republicans in Texas are concerned about fundraising challenges following Ken Paxton's Senate primary win. Paxton's financial support lags behind that of his Democratic opponent, James Talarico, who has raised significant funds. GOP strategists warn that the party may need to invest heavily to secure the Senate seat, potentially diverting resources from other critical races.
