GOP lawmaker delivers a brutal snub of her Trump-backed ex-husband: report

Even though a Texas GOP candidate has the president's support, he doesn't have an official endorsement from his wife, according to a new report.

Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, a Republican, shared her list of endorsements on Tuesday, and her husband, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, noticeably did not make the cut, according to reporting by The Hill.

Trump backed Ken Paxton for the GOP primary, favoring him over Sen. John Cornyn just a week before the election. GOP lawmakers have shaken their heads and rebuffed the endorsement, which caught them off guard.

According to The Hill, Angela Paxton "remained neutral" in the Texas GOP Senate primary and didn't endorse Cornyn either. However, she did announce her support for Mayes Middleton, a state senator who's running to replace her husband as the Texas AG.

Meanwhile, The Hill noted that the Paxtons' marriage is "estranged," as Angela Paxton filed for divorce from Ken last year, citing "biblical grounds."

“I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation,” Angela Paxton wrote on X. “But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage.”
