MAGA, Inc. is spending $10 million on ads in the Texas Senate race, supporting Republican nominee Ken Paxton and attacking Democrat James Talarico over taxes. Talarico’s campaign disputes the ads’ claims, while the article describes the spending as a major early move in the midterm contest.
A Saturday filing with the Federal Election Commission showed that MAGA, Inc., a political group associated with President Donald Trump, is spending $10 million on television and digital ads in the Texas Senate race. The article describes it as the group’s first significant spending in a major general-election contest. Republican nominee Ken Paxton is challenging Democrat James Talarico, whose candidacy the article says could make the race more competitive. Trump endorsed Paxton, who defeated incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in a May runoff.
The ads focus on taxes, portraying Talarico as seeking broad tax increases and claiming Paxton would provide tax breaks to some families and homebuyers. Talarico’s campaign spokesperson rejected the ads’ claims and said Talarico had supported property tax cuts and tax cuts for working Texans. Trump said he would spend whatever amount was necessary to help Republicans and described the funds as his own.
