Trump interrupted by protesters as he fights to rally Texas voters behind Paxton in US Senate race
At least 12 demonstrators interrupted the rally, and a Trump supporter grabbed one protester’s hair as police removed others, officials and video showed.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump held a campaign rally at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio supporting Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton, where at least a dozen protesters repeatedly interrupted his remarks, forcing authorities to eject demonstrators.
- Trump's third Texas trip in under a month reflected the GOP's unexpected need to defend the state, with party officials devoting more than $300 million to elections amid poor approval ratings and economic pressures.
- Trump mocked ejected demonstrators, saying one person had 'got to lose a lot of weight' and calling others 'really bad-looking people,' while claiming without evidence they were 'paid by enemies of our nation'; video showed a MAGA supporter grabbing a protester's hair.
- Beyond the disruptions, Paxton received sustained praise from Trump, who described him as 'perhaps the greatest attorney general in the United States of America,' while Trump pledged the Presidential Medal of Freedom to retired baseball star Roger Clemens.
- A New York Times/Siena College poll showed Democrat James Talarico leading Paxton 51% to 45%, reflecting broader Republican Party struggles in Texas with Election Day less than a month away and Trump's 32% approval rating threatening GOP candidates nationwide.
