Disorder and Polling Gaps Define Trump's San Antonio Rally for Paxton

President Donald Trump’s third Texas rally in a month at San Antonio’s Freeman Coliseum was marked by significant disruption, with at least 18 protesters ejected by authorities. While no arrests were made, the event highlighted the volatile nature of the U.S. Senate race between Republican nominee Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. Trump spent the evening attacking Talarico and defending Paxton, though the latter’s polling numbers remain unfavorable. The rally also drew attention to Trump’s declining approval ratings in the state and the absence of Governor Greg Abbott, who chose not to attend the event.
