Trump’s Rally for Ken Paxton
The reason why the President was in Lubbock was to drive support for Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. Paxton’s opponent, Texas State Rep. James Talarico, also held a rally in Lubbock on the same day as President Trump’s visit.
Both rallies changed their plans just days before showtime, and Trump ended up speaking at 6:30 p.m. while Talarico began his rally around 7 p.m.
