Trump Texas Rally Takeaways as Paxton's Fate Hangs in the Balance

President Donald Trump came to Texas to campaign for Republican nominee Ken Paxton during the hotly contested Senate race.

President Donald Trump rallied Republican voters in Texas on Wednesday night, using the event to support Senate nominee Ken Paxton and promote his proposed $5,000 Trump dividend. The president touted Paxton's conservative values and argued that Democrats would open the state's borders, ruining the economy and leading to a 1920s-type depression.

Trump repeatedly urged supporters to vote for Paxton and frame the race as critical to preserving Texas' conservative identity. The president also honored former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
