Trump again made jokes about the appearance, clothing, and manner of speaking of Texas Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton. Trump stated, "Some people may not like the way he dresses, and I don't either. His manner of speaking may not be perfect, and he may not be the most handsome I've ever seen." However, Trump endorsed Paxton in the heated Senate race, calling him the best attorney general in the country. Paxton was impeached by his own party in 2023 on abuse of power charges, but was acquitted by the state Senate. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Trump stated that his team told him not to insult Paxton, but he did anyway. Trump said, "Sorry, Ken. Where is he? I'm so sorry. He'll never talk to me again, but it's okay."
