For Republicans, a vote to convict the GOP attorney general comes with untold political implications.
Paxton’s allies have promised to punish Republicans who vote against him in the impeachment process, as the trial drags long-simmering tension between the Republican Party’s farthest-right flank, which includes Paxton, and the rest of the party into the spotlight.
“We’re getting to see it in real time: the conflict and the different ideological stances that the Republican Party has,” Matt Langston, a Republican strategist who works in Texas, said last week. That tension over who is conservative enough is why former Texas Sen. Bob Deuell said he expects Paxton will be acquitted.
