The reporting

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

Senate Leadership Fund, the super PAC affiliated with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, launched Texas PAC and made an initial $32 million broadcast TV reservation to support Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas’ U.S. Senate race. The buy covers Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and other Texas markets, marking the group’s first general-election spending in the contest. The move follows a separate $10 million commitment from President Donald Trump’s political operation as Paxton faces Democratic state Rep. James Talarico.
