Vice President JD Vance campaigned for Republican Ken Paxton in Weatherford, Texas, on October 29, days before the November 3 election for the Senate seat. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso also stumped for Paxton across West Texas. Newsweek reports that Democrat James Talarico has led most public polls since Paxton defeated Senator John Cornyn in the May runoff, and that the race is unusually close. Trump said Paxton does not represent Texans' values. The Washington Examiner reports that Vance also announced a new Agriculture Department beef processing facility in Texas during the event.
