Ken Paxton's 'Come and Take It Tour' in Photos: Texas AG Rallies GOP Base Ahead of 2026 Midterms

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton hit the road for his 'Come and Take It Tour,' a series of high-energy rallies across the Lone Star State as the 2026 midterm elections approach. The tour, captured in striking photos, showcased Paxton connecting with supporters in key regions, underscoring his bid to solidify conservative support and challenge incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Republican primary. From packed venues to intimate town halls, the images reveal a candidate leaning into his reputation as a firebrand, with themes of border security, gun rights, and 'election integrity' dominating his speeches. Paxton's tour comes at a critical juncture, as he seeks to translate his statewide name recognition and grassroots enthusiasm into a formidable Senate campaign. With Texas remaining a Republican stronghold, the primary is expected to be a bellwether for the party's direction. As the 2026 cycle heats up, Paxton's ability to mobilize the base could reshape the race and set the tone for GOP contests nationwide.
