The Impeachment of Ken Paxton Reveals Divisions in Texas GOP.

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump's efforts to save his longtime ally, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, from impeachment failed as a majority of Texas Republicans in the state's House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to impeach Paxton. Trump had repeatedly warned Republicans against backing the impeachment of Paxton, arguing it was a "very unfair process." The decision by many Republicans to ignore Trump's warnings fueled questions about the former president's political power in one of the nation's reddest states. Paxton's permanent removal from office would require a two-thirds vote in the 31-member Senate.
