Trump’s Must-Win MAGA Candidate Sets Disastrous Popularity Record

Donald Trump’s pick in a must-win race is doing worse than any other Republican candidate for that seat in more than 25 years, according to CNN’s resident numbers wizard.

“Congratulations to Ken Paxton, you have done it,” network data guru Harry Enten told viewers on Thursday. “You are the least popular Texas Senate GOP nominee this century. When I was looking at the data, no one else was even in the negative—and you’re at -16 points!”

Enten also joked that the Texas attorney general, 63, is now locked in a “mini-faux battle” with the president, 80, for voter disapproval in the deep-red state, and that Texans have now decided: “They both stink! They both stink!”
