Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican running for U.S. Senate, thanked President Donald Trump on Saturday for his support. Trump had attributed a large business investment to Paxton and Republican Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas. Trump also spoke in favor of his handling of the cost of living and the labor market.
In an X post, Paxton said he was thankful for Trump's support and leadership in bringing good-paying jobs back to America. He said companies are investing in America again and that he would keep fighting to make sure Texas workers come first.
The article reports that more than half of likely Texas voters told a Fox News poll conducted earlier this month that they disapprove of Trump's job performance. It also says Paxton has trailed in most polls during the race. Trump has called the high cost of living a Democratic "hoax."
