Cruz urges moderates to back Paxton amid primary backlash
TL;DR Summary
Sen. Ted Cruz urged moderate Republicans to back Ken Paxton after a costly primary, arguing conservatives should support the nominee and noting that roughly $200 million in attack ads helped Paxton’s closer-than-expected result; Paxton now faces Democrat James Talarico in Texas, with a August poll showing Talarico ahead by about six points outside the margin of error.
