Texas GOP voters vote in race that could shape future of the party — and the Senate

KATY, Texas — The music is blaring and the smell of smoked meats fills the air at an old-school barbeque joint that is quickly running out of seats.

This political rally for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has drawn voters from the diverse Houston suburb of Katy.

They include Ricardo Vidaurre and his wife, who are both beaming at the crowd as they dance to “YMCA” and other MAGA favorites.
