Ken Paxton probably thinks America is just like Texas. It’s not. Kate Cox was an ideal plaintiff, from the blue team’s perspective; Paxton’s decision to take her on, and the decision of the Texas Supreme Court to deny her an abortion, are going to resonate with women all over the country, and not in a good way for the GOP.
Trump, having supported Paxton to the hilt during the latter’s impeachment episode, is in no position to disavow his views. Biden is going to make him wear this around his neck during the 2024 campaign.
