Former Ken Paxton aide David Maxwell endorsed James Talarico in the Texas Senate race and appeared in a Talarico campaign ad. Maxwell accused Paxton of firing him after he raised concerns.

Left-leaning outlets frame the endorsement as a rebuke tied to allegations against Paxton, with some recounting his impeachment and acquittal. Center outlets emphasize the endorsement’s political value to Talarico and polling that shows him ahead.
