The Texas Senate race is seeing some major shifts as a prominent donor who previously backed Ken Paxton is now throwing his support behind Democratic challenger James Talarico, Newsweek reports. Thomas J. Henry, the well-known founder of Thomas J. Henry Law, shared his new endorsement in a video posted to X on Wednesday night.
Henry had previously put a lot of money into the race, with his firm donating over $600,000 to a super PAC supporting Paxton during the Republican primary. In his video, Henry explained that he initially supported Paxton because he wanted to see a change from incumbent John Cornyn, noting his belief that politicians should not serve endless terms. However, after learning more about Paxton and meeting with Talarico, Henry decided to switch sides. “I’m Thomas J. Henry. I’m here to announce my support for James Talarico for United States Senator from Texas,” he said.
