Trump rallies for Paxton in Texas
President Donald Trump returned to San Antonio on Wednesday to campaign for Ken Paxton's Senate bid, his third trip to Texas in less than a month.
Democrats have a real shot in Texas
Multiple polls show state Rep. James Talarico with a chance to become the first Democrat to win statewide in Texas in more than three decades.
Trump's stark warning to voters
Trump told the San Antonio crowd, "We'll never forgive you for what you have done if you let that happen," referring to a potential Talarico victory.
“We'll never forgive you for what you have done if you let that happen.”
Trump attacks Talarico repeatedly
Trump deployed nicknames and repeated incorrect claims that Talarico is vegan, saying he wants to eat lettuce and is sick from being forced to eat meat for political reasons.
“He's a vegan. … He wants to eat a little piece of lettuce.”
Trump's broader campaign message
Trump promised five thousand dollars to every American if Republicans hold House and Senate majorities, and announced Medicare checks of over one hundred dollars each for over twenty million seniors.
GOP concerns about Trump's drag
The rally reflects Republican anxiety as polls show Democrats with a seven-point lead on which party should control Congress, and almost two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump's job performance.
The headline
Trump rallied in San Antonio for Ken Paxton's Senate campaign, warning Texans he will never forgive them if Democrat James Talarico wins, reflecting GOP concern that Texas may elect its first statewide Democrat in over three decades.
