Ken Paxton Privately Said Trump's Convention Hurt His Senate Campaign

Original: Ken Paxton, G.O.P. Nominee in Texas, Privately Said Trump’s Convention Hurt Him

Ken Paxton, the Trump loyalist and Republican Senate nominee in Texas, privately complained that the party's national convention damaged his campaign. In audio obtained by The New York Times, Paxton said that "everybody's numbers dropped" after the event, an unusual admission from one of the party's most prominent candidates during a key stretch of the race.

Why now: The leaked audio shows a Trump loyalist bluntly blaming the party's own convention for sinking Republican poll numbers, feeding concerns about the party's momentum.
