According to recent polls of voters, interviews, and public statements, Republicans hold different views on how the Texas Senate should decide suspended AG Paxton’s fate.
because the alleged actions took place before Paxton was reelected in November 2022: first defeating three well-known and well-funded challengers in the primary and then trouncing the democrat in the general election.
"They whipped votes. It's no surprise that they had a lot of Republicans voting for it. But if you think about it. None of them prior to forty-eight hours before this impeachment vote being taken was calling for Paxton's impeachment publicly," said Rinaldi.To the idea that these are only accusations and the senate trial now has the time to fully hear both sides, testimony, and evidence, Rinaldi told NBC 5 it should not go to that point.
"I think they'll make a good decision and I think that Texans should stand behind that decision," said Huffines,"I haven't made up my mind. I definitely want to see more evidence and want to see testimony on both sides. You know when the defense gets up there it's going to be a real different day, it really is.
