The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has quietly removed several posts that criticized Ken Paxton, the Republican Texas Attorney General, following his decisive 28-point victory in the Senate runoff election. Among the deleted content were statements condemning Paxton's extramarital affair and his overall competence. The NRSC had previously expressed concerns about Paxton's behavior, with communications director Joanna Rodriguez describing his actions as 'repulsive.' However, after receiving an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, Paxton triumphed over his opponent, John Cornyn. In the aftermath, the NRSC did not mention Paxton's success in their statements, instead redirecting their focus to attacking Democratic nominee James Talarico, labeling him as a 'radical leftist.' This shift highlights the influence of Trump's endorsements within the Republican Party, as seen in the primary losses of other candidates who opposed him.
