A Republican running for one of the most closely watched US Senate seats in the country spent America's Independence Day weekend walking the streets of London rather than the campaign trail back home.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was seen near the London Eye over the Fourth of July holiday alongside Christian influencer Tracy Duhon, whom online posts have speculated is romantically involved with Paxton, though neither has confirmed any relationship. The images surfaced with weeks left before a November vote that recent polling puts in a dead heat against Democrat James Talarico, making Paxton's whereabouts over one of the year's biggest campaigning weekends immediately relevant to voters weighing the race. The sighting came days after a separate clip showed Paxton and Duhon boarding a flight from Washington's Dulles Airport to Reykjavik, Iceland. Paxton's campaign has not responded to requests for comment on either trip.
