Ken Paxton

About

Ken Paxton is the Attorney General of Texas, a Republican known for litigation against federal policies and for surviving a 2023 impeachment. In 2025 he mounted a primary challenge against incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn, winning a runoff with Trump's endorsement. On No Agenda the hosts tracked the Texas Senate race closely, noting Paxton's victory over Cornyn and how it set up a more competitive general election against Democrat James Talarico. The hosts played his campaign clips emphasizing opposition to "Sharia law and Islamification," reading his anti-Muslim framing as a calculated appeal to Texas voters' fears.</paragraph> <parameter name="pull_quotes">["Paxton and Massey have been just filling up my email inbox", "I love the Paxton stuff", "Your buddy Paxton", "when you extrapolate what he's really saying he's correct because there's a lot of fear", "Ken Paxton is intentionally clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption"]
