Trump is in Texas for a high-stakes push to keep the state in Republican hands
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — President Donald Trump will be joined by one of his potential successors on Tuesday as he tries to keep Texas, whichRead More President Donald Trump is in Texas for a high-stakes push to keep the state of Texas in the Republican column in the upcoming midterm elections. The president is in Corpus Christi and will later travel to Lubbock in an effort to boost Republican Ken Paxton’s competitive U.S. Senate campaign against Democrat James Talarico. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will accompany the president to show off a newly arrived oil tanker filled with Venezuelan crude to be processed in Texas refineries. This marks the third time the president has visited Texas since September, a sign of the significance he's putting on a state that has been reliably Republican for decades. The strategy is facing its fiercest test in Texas, where Talarica has capitalized on the difficult political environment for Republicans and Paxton's history of ethical and legal issues. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has joined Trump’�s effort to stop Talario’S advance.
