Bush and Cornyn Hold GOP Senate Fundraiser, Exclude Paxton
Former President George W. Bush and Senator John Cornyn hosted a fundraising event in Dallas for six Republican Senate candidates in competitive races. Ken Paxton, the GOP nominee in the Texas Senate race and Donald Trump's preferred candidate, was notably absent from the event.

Left-leaning outlets frame this as a significant snub of Paxton by establishment Republicans, highlighting that Bush and Cornyn excluded Trump's handpicked candidate despite the event being in Texas, suggesting internal party divisions over Paxton's viability or character.
