Paxton and Democrat state Rep. James Talarico<\/a> are locked in a tight race in which polls continually show the two candidates neck and neck.<\/p>\n The $10 million will go toward digital and TV<\/a> ads across the state.<\/p>\n FOX NEWS POLL: GOP DIVISIONS SHAPE TEXAS SENATE RACE<\/a><\/p>\n Texas state Rep.

(Brandon Bell\/Getty Images; Ron Jenkins\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s endorsement earlier this year already helped Paxton beat incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican primary<\/a>.<\/p>\n “While James Talarico has a record of raising taxes on working families, my Protecting the Texas Promise Agenda cuts costs and makes life more affordable. Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump, for your support,” Paxton wrote on X on Saturday while sharing a post about the ad buy. “Together we will win for Texas and America.”<\/p>\n The decision comes after weeks of speculation over whether the super PAC would put money into the hotly contested race.<\/p>\n Talarico\u2019s campaign also responded to the move, telling Fox News Digital, “Billionaire-backed dark money groups are lying about James Talarico because they\u2019re scared of the people-powered movement we\u2019re building to fix this broken, corrupt political system.”<\/p>\n BERNIE SANDERS DEMANDS DEMOCRATS BAN SUPER PACS FROM PRIMARIES, BLASTS AIPAC, \u2018CORRUPT SYSTEM\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton campaigns with President Donald Trump.

We\u2019ll be doing something different. We\u2019re bringing Republicans, Democrats and independents together to collect groceries for our neighbors who have been screwed over by corrupt politicians.”<\/p>\n Calling him “High Tax Talarico,” MAGA Inc. spokesperson Alex Pfeiffer told Fox News Digital the Democrat “wants to take money out of Texans’ pockets. MAGA Inc. is going to ensure Texas knows about Talarico’s radical policies and elects Ken Paxton to the U.S. Senate<\/a>.”<\/p>\n TALARICO\u2019S \u2018PROUD CAPITALIST\u2019 ABOUT-FACE COLLIDES WITH RESURFACED CALL TO \u2018DISMANTLE\u2019 CAPITALISM<\/a><\/p>\n President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House on Thursday.
