After being acquitted by Texas Senate in his impeachment trial, Ken Paxton remains popular with his conservative base, but choppy waters are ahead.
Paxton’s political prospects hinge on his ability to overcome lingering legal problems, including a 2015 securities fraud indictment and an FBI investigation into matters discussed during the impeachment trial.Immediately after Paxton was acquitted, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who served as judge in the trial, lambasted the House for dumping impeachment articles on the Senate in what he described as a flawed process.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick talks to the defense and prosecution attorneys after the defense team rested their case during Day 8 of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s impeachment trial in the Senate Chamber at the Texas Capitol in Austin on Sept. 14. Paxton has been the weakest link of GOP’s statewide election candidates. However, Democrats have not been able to take advantage because of lackluster candidates and a disconnect with Texas voters.Reps. Andrew Murr, R-Junction, and Ann Johnson, D-Houston, chair and vice chair of the House impeachment managers, speak to the press after Day 10 of Ken Paxton’s impeachment trial in the Senate Chamber at the Texas Capitol in Austin on Sept. 16.
