MAGA, Inc. plans to spend $10 million on ads in the Texas Senate race, targeting Democrat James Talarico and supporting Republican Ken Paxton. Talarico’s campaign disputed the ads’ claims about his tax positions.
Outlets agree on the facts: Pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc. has committed $10 million to an advertising campaign in the Texas Senate race, splitting the buy between promoting Republican candidate Ken Paxton and attacking Democrat James Talarico over taxes.
Left-leaning outlets frame the spending as an urgent effort to rescue Paxton's struggling bid amid Republican anxiety. Center outlets treat the ad buy as Donald Trump's first major midterm investment in a closely watched general election. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the major financial influx backing Paxton's campaign against Talarico.
