Cornyn Campaign Releases AI-Generated Parody Ad Targeting Paxton

Cornyn's campaign ran ads criticizing Ken Paxton, his opponent in the Texas Republican Senate runoff. Center outlets focus on the AI-generated song parody and the B-52s' objection to its use; one article instead covers pressure on Trump over an endorsement and Cornyn's support for SAVE America Act rule changes. Right-leaning outlets present a Ten Commandments-themed ad as a campaign tactic in the runoff, recounting its accusations against Paxton.
