Trump interrupted by protesters as he fights to rally Texas voters behind Paxton in US Senate race

At least 12 demonstrators interrupted Trump, and one rallygoer grabbed a protester’s hair as police and security removed people from the venue.

  • On Wednesday in San Antonio, protesters repeatedly interrupted President Donald Trump's rally at Freeman Coliseum, with one MAGA supporter grabbing a protester's hair as he attempted to leave the arena.
  • Trump visited Texas for the third time in under a month to boost Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton, as party officials devoted more than $300 million to state elections amid a difficult political climate.
  • Republican Gov. Greg Abbott skipped the rally to attend a hospital dedication 330 miles away, while a recent poll showed Democrat James Talarico leading Paxton 51% to 45% among likely voters.
  • During his remarks, Trump pledged to award retired baseball star Roger Clemens the Presidential Medal of Freedom, calling it 'a step up' from the Hall of Fame, while attacking Talarico as 'Tala-freako.'
  • Restating support for the death penalty for 'large scale drug dealers, human traffickers and anyone who kills a police officer,' Trump also addressed comments regarding the potential for Iran to bomb American cities.
