Trump Ally Shocks Nation by Leaving the Sinking Ship of His Presidency
In a stunning turn of events, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, long considered a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, has publicly criticized the president's midterm election strategies. This surprising move has left many in the political realm reeling. Paxton's remarks came to light following the release of secretly recorded audio obtained by The New York Times. In the recordings, he expressed concern about the performance of Trump’s recent GOP midterm convention, stating, "Everybody's numbers dropped" and labeling the overall turnout as "not good."
