🇺🇸 Donald Trump
Trump to visit San Antonio next week for rally with Paxton, De La Cruz
What happened
Donald Trump will speak at a rally at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, accompanied by Ken Paxton and Carlos De La Cruz. The event is the president's second Texas campaign stop in as many weeks. Trump's visit comes after his recent trip to a truck manufacturing plant in Denton, where he urged Republicans to support Paxton in the midterm elections.
Why it matters
The visit highlights the competitiveness of Texas in the 2024 election cycle, with polling showing a narrow lead for Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico. The state has attracted significant outside spending, with nearly $175 million in outside ad spending to preserve GOP control of the Senate seat. Trump's campaign has also poured tens of millions of dollars into Texas races through a network of super PACs.
