Angela Paxton urges GOP women to vote for party despite husband's scandal

Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton broke her silence on her estranged husband’s U.S. Senate bid, urging Republican women to support the party’s candidates in November despite personal grievances. Speaking at a Texas Federation of Republican Women meeting on September 18, she argued that retaining the Senate seat is more important than individual candidate preferences, even if it means voting for a candidate one dislikes. This intervention occurs as Ken Paxton trails Democrat James Talarico in polls, with national backing from figures like Donald Trump attempting to close the gap. The speech highlights the tension between party loyalty and personal scandals within the GOP base, particularly regarding Paxton’s history of ethical controversies and infidelity allegations.
