Trump Visits Texas Amid Republican Midterm Challenges

<p>Former President Donald Trump stated he has 'no regrets' about endorsing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, following the release of recordings in which Paxton criticized the Iran war and high gas prices.</p><p>Tonight, midterm debates will take place in Iowa, featuring Republican nominee for US Senate, Ashley Hinson, who will face Democrat Josh Turek, a state representative and Paralympian, at 8 PM ET. This race is considered one of the most competitive of the election cycle, despite no Democrat winning a Senate election in Iowa since 2008. A recent New York Times/Siena College poll indicates Turek is trailing Hinson by just one point.</p><p>Hinson, currently serving as a congresswoman, has recently opposed some of Trump’s agenda as his approval rating declines. She has called for an end to the war in Iran, despite having voted against House war powers resolutions that would limit military action. Additionally, she has criticized Trump’s decision to pause tariffs on foreign beef imports, arguing it could negatively impact Iowa cattle ranchers.</p>
