“We want the entire MAGA movement to understand that what’s going on in Texas is not just about Texas,” Mr. Bannon told his podcast audience this month.
Yet those conservative credentials may not be enough to help Mr. Paxton survive what promises to be the most significant test he has faced.
A well-funded political action committee, Defend Texas Liberty, has begun targeting some Republican members of the Texas House who voted to impeach Mr. Paxton.
Mr. Abbott has not commented on Mr. Paxton’s impeachment.
Mr. Paxton won handily and went on to easily win a third term in the November election.
