Impeachment of Texas AG Ken Paxton foreshadows chaotic 2024 election season.
TL;DR Summary
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment on 20 articles of wrongdoing raises questions about why it took Republicans so long to hold one of their own accountable and points to a tumultuous 2024 election cycle. Paxton's entire tenure as attorney general has been marred by legal troubles, and his fate will be determined by a trial in the Senate, where it will take a two-thirds vote to remove him from office. The Senate could acquit Paxton, and his indictment will likely be an issue for GOP House members running for reelection in 2024.
