YOUTUBE (MS NOW) - Trump holds Texas fundraiser for Ken Paxton, plans to make midterms about his record
President Trump will travel to Houston, Texas today to headline a fundraiser for GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton. His visit will focus on raising money for Paxton's campaign after it spent most of its funds in the primary election against incumbent Senator John Cornyn. Trump endorsed Paxton in that race and today's trip is meant to show donors the President is still standing by him. Meanwhile, Jonathan Lemire’s latest piece for The Atlantic reports that Trump’s strategy to spend his super PAC’s $400M ahead of the midterms is to buy TV ads focusing on himself and his ‘accomplishments.’ POLITICO White House reporter Alex Gangitano joins Way Too Early to break it all down.
