A recording that leaked Wednesday featured Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton talking about President Donald Trump and the Republican midterm convention. According to Mediaite, Paxton said, “Do you feel like he’s a little bit of a drag? So to be honest with you, the numbers – when we did that convention – it dropped our numbers. Everybody’s numbers dropped. Right now, yeah, not good.”
Reporters later put those remarks to Trump. He said he had not heard what Paxton said. He then described the Dallas event and returned to numbers he has cited since early September.
