Texas Attorney General and Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton recently admitted in a leaked audio recording that he lacks control over his own campaign efforts, The New Republic reports. This recording, which surfaced on Monday, features Paxton speaking at a fundraiser in September about the difficulties he faces as he trails behind his opponent.
The candidate expressed his frustration regarding the lack of influence he maintains over his own platform. “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign and, like, what issues are going to matter because it’s all coming—you know—from D.C.,” he stated during the event.
