The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

MAGA Inc., President Donald Trump’s super PAC, disclosed a $10 million television and digital advertising buy in the Texas Senate race to boost Republican Ken Paxton. The expenditure is split between $5 million supporting Paxton and $5 million opposing Democrat James Talarico, who is running for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. John Cornyn. It is the group’s first major spending in a competitive 2026 general election contest and follows Republican concerns that Paxton needed outside help in a closely polling race.

Paxton RescueBalanced

Ken Paxton’s Senate campaign is struggling badly enough that Trump’s super PAC is stepping in with major spending to keep it afloat. The outside money amounts to a rescue operation for a sloppy, faltering campaign rather than routine support.
