He adds that Republicans as well as Democrats know there is "no place in Texas for guys like Ken Paxton."

Everywhere I go, I hear from Texans who are drowning. Texans voted to lower prices. They voted to lower prices at the grocery store, but corrupt tariffs are raising prices at the checkout line. Texans voted to end the wars, but now we have a new corrupt war in the Middle East that is driving up gas and diesel prices. This isn't a partisan thing. Republicans just as well as Democrats know that there is no place in Texas for guys like Ken Paxton
