Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska says President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas runoff election for the U.S. Senate seat was a mistake. On CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Bacon said Trump’s decision was wrong and that it has negatively affected the president. The remarks were tied to Trump’s endorsement of Paxton during the Texas primary/runoff process. Bacon’s comments reflect internal Republican criticism of the endorsement, though the sources do not cite additional details about Paxton’s campaign or specific reasons for Bacon’s assessment beyond his characterization that it was a “mistake.”
