President Donald Trump’s political group, MAGA, Inc., is investing $10 million in ads for the Texas Senate race, marking its first major spending in a general election. This move highlights the competitiveness of the race, as Democrat James Talarico challenges Republican Ken Paxton, who secured his nomination with Trump’s endorsement. The ads focus on taxes, portraying Talarico as favoring tax hikes, while Paxton is shown as supporting tax breaks for families. Talarico’s campaign counters these claims, emphasizing his record of cutting taxes for working Texans. The race is significant as it could indicate a shift in the political landscape, with Democrats aiming to gain control of Congress. Trump’s group has substantial funds to influence the election, reflecting the high stakes involved.
