Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said on March 5 that he would consider dropping out of the Texas GOP Senate primary if the Senate abolishes the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.

“The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I’m committed to helping President Trump get it done,” Paxton posted on X. “I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.”
