Ken Paxton Caught Laughing While Planning Benefit Cuts and Tax Breaks
In a recent audio leak, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton proclaimed his willingness to consider cuts to federal benefits during a private fundraiser with lobbyists in Washington, D.C. The conversation, which has drawn significant attention, highlights Paxton's approach to tackling the federal deficit—a topic that is becoming increasingly pivotal as the election approaches.
