Senate GOP leaders warned President Donald Trump that his political operation would need to fund Ken Paxton's general election campaign if he won the Texas primary. This was due to Paxton being a controversial figure who would require financial support to appeal to voters.

Despite this warning, Trump's team has not yet provided financial backing. Meanwhile, Democrat James Talarico has been actively advertising, outspending the GOP by roughly seven times since June.

Republicans are growing anxious about the lack of funding from Trump's team, with one senior GOP source expressing frustration that they have not followed through on their promises to spend. Further details on the situation are available from the source.
