Texas AG Ken Paxton vents frustration at DC sway over Senate bid: ‘I don’t control message’

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton admitted at a private fundraising event that outside forces in Washington DC are controlling his Republican Senate campaign. Paxton stated he has never experienced such little control over his campaign messaging or the issues being prioritized. The scandal-hit official, chosen by Donald Trump for the seat, is currently engaged in a competitive race against progressive Democrat James Talarico, while expressing frustration over the significant influence exerted by DC-based entities on his strategy.
