The Republican nominee for one of America's most closely watched Senate races has been filmed slipping out of the country on a red‑eye flight to Iceland with his alleged mistress in the final week before Independence Day, rather than campaigning in Texas.
Footage obtained by the Daily Mail and circulated widely on social media shows Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, 63, and Tracy Duhon, 58, boarding a flight at Washington DC's Dulles International Airport on Saturday 28 June 2026, bound for Reykjavik.
