Please Don’t Film the Breakfast Buffet at Ken Paxton’s “Come and Take It” Bus Tour

Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general, is currently on a bus tour called "Come and Take It" in an attempt to win the US Senate race against Democrat James Talarico. The campaign has had a difficult time due to various scandals, including an indictment, impeachment by his own party, and a controversial cell-phone video from New Year's Eve. Despite these challenges, Paxton is attempting to adapt his political strategy to the current electoral environment defined by tariffs and the Iran war.

During the launch of the bus tour in Rockwall, Texas, a reporter was asked to leave the event after filming the breakfast buffet. The reporter, who had not applied for press credentials, was told that he had "failed to follow the publicly advised standard operating procedure for media who are covering events hosted by the campaign." This incident highlights the scrutiny that Paxton's campaign is facing in an increasingly challenging political landscape.
