Ken Paxton was a leading possible challenger to the [[RINO]] Abbott for his reelection campaign in 2026, when [[Trump]] is expected to endorse an opponent against Abbott.

Bush]] to this key position, Abbott appointed a loyalist to him, the former Texas Secretary of State John Scott. | Ken Paxton was a leading possible challenger to the [[RINO]] Abbott for his reelection campaign in 2026, when [[Trump]] is expected to endorse an opponent against Abbott.
