President Donald Trump jets to Texas on Thursday to shovel more campaign cash into the Republican Party’s massive midterms war chest — even if he has been critical of some GOP lawmakers and reluctant to spend on competitive races.
Trump is slated to headline a big-dollar Republican National Committee fundraiser and stump for GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton, the Texas state attorney general who defeated incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in a primary this year. The scandal-prone Paxton is in a tight race with state Rep. James Talarico, the Democratic nominee.
