Social media users are ripping Ken Paxton, Texas\u2019 Republican attorney general, for rocking a $41,000 watch during a San Antonio campaign stop this Saturday as he tries to drum up support for his U.S. Senate campaign. <\/p>\n

The barrage of insults comes as questions swirl around how Paxton amassed a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio<\/a> on a $150,000-a-year state salary \u2014\u00a0and as the GOP continues to fret <\/a>about his viability against Democratic rival, Austin-area state Rep. James Talarico.<\/p>\n

Paxton appeared in the Alamo City as part of a \u201cMAGA Majority Force\u201d block-walking event.<\/p>\n

In a clip, posted on X by the Paxton War Room account, Paxton is seen sporting a golf shirt from the Orlando Four Seasons resort, oversized loafers and what appears to be a $41,000 Aerofusion King Gold watch.<\/p>\n

\u201c[T]he future of our state and the future of our country ride on this race,\u201d Paxton murmurs in the six-second clip. \u201cSo, I am out fighting\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Talarico was quick to take a dig Paxton\u2019s outfit choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing says you understand the affordability crisis like wearing a $41,000 watch and a Four Seasons polo,\u201d Talarico tweeted while reshaing a photo of his opponent and his spiffy watch.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just Paxton\u2019s wardrobe that\u2019s made the clip go viral, though.\u200b<\/p>\n

Several X users, including @mmpadellan, commented on Paxton\u2019s \u201cstage presence,\u201d comparing his demeanor<\/a> to the excitement one feels when reading a \u201cTerms and Conditions\u201d agreement.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other users, including @AllegraEHobbs, noted that Paxton appeared to lack urgency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And a lack of urgency is the last thing Paxton needs right now. <\/p>\n

Recent polls show Talarico leading the race by an average of two percentage points, according to the RealClearPolitics Poll Average<\/a>. Beyond that, Talarico outraised his Republican opponent by a 3-1 margin, according to the most recent campaign finance filings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump, who endorsed Paxton over incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn during the race\u2019s primary, even flew to Texas last week<\/a> to help his boy raise money.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working very hard. We want to win that race,\u201d Trump said, according to the Texas Tribune.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Paxton launched his Students for Paxton initiative at campuses across the state, including Southern Methodist University, Texas Christian University, Baylor University, Texas Tech University, the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, the University of North Texas, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Tarleton State University, Texas State University and Angelo State University.<\/p>\n

The chapters will serve as hubs for students who want to get involved in the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese young conservatives understand what is at stake, and with their help, we are going to win this election, keep Texas red, and make sure the next generation inherits a strong America,\u201d Paxton said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Talarico\u2019s campaign is going all-in with just two months until the election, launching his first attack ad against his rival<\/a>. The 30-second ad focuses on Paxton\u2019s $9 million real estate portfolio and the 2023 impeachment vote against him in the Texas House<\/a>.\u200b<\/p>\n

Talarico is also busy campaigning, making a stop in Kerrville on Monday and a stop at San Antonio\u2019s Backyard on Broadway on Tuesday<\/a> as part of his New American Dream tour.<\/p>\n
