$5 Million Boost for Paxton in Tight Texas Senate Race
President Trump's super PAC, MAGA Inc., has injected $5 million into the Texas Senate race to bolster Republican candidate Ken Paxton's campaign. The funds are designated for Del Ray Media LLC, a Virginia-based political media company, and will be used for TV and digital advertising efforts against Democratic nominee James Talarico.
The move comes as the race remains tightly contested, with public polling indicating a narrow lead for Talarico over Paxton. However, market pricing suggests an increased likelihood of a Republican victory, with odds moving from 52% to 59.5% in favor of a Republican win.
This additional funding is consistent with efforts to counteract Talarico's slight lead in recent polls and may indicate shifts in the race's competitive landscape as the election approaches.
