President Donald Trump is heading back to Texas to support Republican Ken Paxton's U.S. Senate campaign against Democrat James Talarico. Trump will appear in Corpus Christi and Lubbock on Tuesday. This marks his third visit to Texas since September, highlighting the state's importance to Republicans. Texas has been a Republican stronghold for decades, but Talarico's outreach to moderates and Paxton's struggles have made it a battleground.
