Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton once seemingly held a tall lead over Sen. John Cornyn as the two race to be the Republican candidate for Senate. But following Paxton's alleged affair-driven divorce, it might now be a much closer race, according to the betting market.
Paxton's wife Angela Paxton, who is a Texas state senator, announced Thursday that she had filed for divorce after "recent discoveries" led her to determine that their marriage does not "honor God" and believed it would be best for her, her children and Ken to separate.
