Trump makes last-minute push to keep Texas in Republican hands with third trip
AUSTIN, Texas — President Donald Trump was in Texas for the third time in a month Tuesday in a last-minute push to block Democrats from notching their first statewide election victory in more than three decades in next week's midterm elections. President Donald Trump is in Texas for the third time in a month, making a last-minute effort to prevent Democrats from securing their first statewide election victory in over three decades in the midterm elections. He is in Corpus Christi and Lubbock to boost Republican Ken Paxton's competitive U.S. Senate campaign against Democrat James Talarico, while Talario was in Amarillo, where he criticized a "broken, corrupt" political system. The president used the trip to highlight an arrangement made with Venezuela to process more of its crude oil in Texas refineries. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefly appeared with Trump to discuss an earlier military operation in Venezuela. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has joined Trump's effort to stop TalarICO's advance. 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. The race is one of the most expensive in the country, with over $563 million being spent on advertising between the primary and general elections.
