"Impeachment of Texas AG Ken Paxton Reveals Divisions Among Republicans"

The impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has exposed deep divisions within the state's Republican Party, with hard-line conservatives fighting to protect one of their own and criticizing the impeachment process as an effort to overturn the will of voters. The GOP chasm was most apparent in the fight over Paxton's future, with about 70% of House Republicans voting to impeach. The division will continue to fester as the Senate takes up Paxton's impeachment trial, with continued pro-Paxton pressure likely to come from Trump, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Republican Party Chair Matt Rinaldi.
