Ken Paxton’s wife has filed for divorce. The Times says it “could have a significant impact on the race for U.S. Senate in Texas”. But I doubt this will have any influence on the folks who voted for twice-divorced Trump.

Of note, she cited his adultery as a reason for divorce. |
His adultery was obvious during his impeachment trial years ago so whatever just happened must be worse. |
State Senator Angela Paxton of Texas, the wife of the state attorney general, Ken Paxton, announced on Thursday that she had filed for divorce, saying she made her decision “on biblical grounds” and “in light of recent discoveries.” The divorce petition, filed by Ms. Paxton in Collin County on Thursday morning, lists among the grounds for divorce that the “respondent has committed adultery” and that the couple has not lived together “as spouses” since June 2024. Mr. Paxton, in a parallel announcement on social media, said the couple had decided to “start a new chapter in our lives,” and suggested that the pressures of public life and “countless political attacks” had precipitated the rupture. |
Hahahahahahaha the National Republican Senatorial Committee just called him “repulsive and disgusting.” |
Interestingly, Rep. Crockett is polling ahead in the Texas Senate race. |
If she wins the nomination, file it under "Democrats will never learn". |
She’s not even running. |
