The assignment of the redistribution of Texas becomes another stage of the great primary fight of the GOP GOP GOP

While the Texas Republicans are fighting with Democrats from the State Chamber, who fled to block the GOP’s ability to pass new Congress cards, there is an intra -partyte procedure procedure equally fiercely on the sidelines: the primary of the controversial republican Senate of the State.

Senator John Cornyn and the Attorney General of the Ken Paxton State, who question Cornyn in a primary, spent last week to appeal to the officials of the States and Federals aimed at exerting more pressure on the Democrats – and competing with each other in the process.

The confrontation between the two rivals of the Senate is the last act of a fierce battle, while Paxton runs against the holder of his right flank. This shows how the two men react to the dead end of redistribution, each trying to address the hardest and most determined fighter to deliver President Donald Trump the five seats of the additional republican congress to which he said that he was “entitled”.

As a prosecutor General of the State, Paxton has a direct role to play in this debate, and he used the power of his law to apply the law to take aggressive measures against state democratic legislators and their allies.

Paxton asked the Supreme Court of the State to start the representative of the Gene Wu state, president of the Democratic Caucus in the Chamber of State, of his functions. (Governor Greg Abbott filed a similar petition, but Paxton argued that he, not the governor, is the one who has the right to bear such an accusation.) Days later, he asked the court to start 13 other Democrats of the Chamber of State.

He launched an investigation into the Liberal billionaire George Soros and continued the former Democratic representative Beto O’Rourke, which he accused of “corruption” for helping to collect funds for state Democrats. (Friday, he won a temporary prohibition prescription blocking O’Rourke and his group to financially support the Democrats.)

Paxton also floated by charging the legislators themselves for having violated the laws of state corruption. And he filed a legal petition in Illinois asking for his competence to arrest the Democrats who fled in the state.

“We are continuing all the legal appeals at our disposal to keep these responsible thug legislators. Texas deserves representatives who do their work instead of fleeing at the request of their billionaire managers. If there is one thing that Texans cannot bear more than losers, these are cowards,” Paxton said in a statement.

As a senator, Cornyn does not have such a direct role to play in this political and legal struggle. But he was determined not to be outdone. Cornyn prompted the FBI to help local efforts to locate Democratic legislators, the FBI director, Kash Patel told NBC News, told him that he assigned agents from San Antonio and Austin to “respond to my request”.

(It is not known exactly what these agents would really do, and a federal law enforcement agent told NBC News on Thursday that FBI agents had not yet taken any measures to try to locate the legislators.)

Meanwhile, while Cornyn was deeply critical of the Democrats who left Texas to prevent the State’s legislature from carrying out redistribution legislation, he and his campaign also formed their fire on Paxton as well.

“Apparently, the Attorney General is now back from his European golf holidays and trying to do his job,” Cornyn told NBC News on Thursday evening, returning to Paxton several times throughout a 15 -minute interview on efforts to find the Democrats. He said Paxton was “nowhere to go about this week,” said the Attorney General for doing a hotel interviews with a “European electric outing”.

Cornyn also filed a thesis of the friend of the field in support of Abbott’s push to start Wu of the office, a thesis he delivered on the header of the American Senate which included a paragraph criticizing the Memoirs and the actions of Paxton, arguing that Abbott had put his file rightly because Paxton “delayed the taking of action”.

Cornyn has pushed similar messages on social networks, where Paxton has pushed back. On Thursday, Paxton republished a video of the Democrat representative of the United States Jasmine Crockett calling Cornyn someone who “generally works in a very bipartite way”, saying that he “did everything he could to give the impression that he is a Republican Maga so that he could go through his primary”.

“I am Ken Paxton and I approve of this message,” wrote the Attorney General on X, sharing the Crockett video.

The primary battle of the Senate has become one of the most controversial electoral competitions in the country. Cornyn has repeatedly mentioned the litany of controversies linked to the unsuccessful thrust of the Texas Assembly to withdraw Paxton from his functions two years ago, and Paxton designed Cornyn as insufficiently conservative and not a real believer by Trump, stressing his past criticisms of the president.

The two candidates bind to Trump, who did not weigh with his approval. Cornyn told NBC News last month that he spoke to the president “repeatedly”.

Public inquiries found Paxton Directing Cornyn in the GOP primary, but some Republicans have resounded that Paxton’s controversies would make a more competitive general election with him as a candidate.
