Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is out with a new ad attacking Senator John Cornyn using artificial intelligence to show a video depicting Cornyn and democratic candidate Jasmine Crockett dancing.
Paxton's new ad opens up with Congresswoman Crockett speaking positively about Cornyn saying he has been very helpful since Day One.
Cornyn, who has previously referred to Paxton as both a con man and a fraud, was open this week during a conference call with Texas reporters that the republican race will likely go into a runoff.
"Congressman Hunt can't win," Cornyn said of Congressman Wesley Hunt. "He could force a runoff which is what it looks like since it will be hard for any one of the three of us to exceed 50 percent."
Cornyn says his campaign is well-postured for both the March 3rd primary and May 26th runoff.
"We are well financed and had the best fundraising quarter I've had in my career," Cornyn said.
Meanwhile, an Emerson College Poll shows 29 percent of Republicans and 15 percent of Democrats in Texas have not decided whom they will vote for in the Senate race.
The poll shows Paxton ahead with 27 percent, Cornyn at 26 percent and Hunt at 16 percent. But the biggest chunk of Republican voters, 29 percent, said they still have not decided.
On the Democratic side, James Talarico leads Jasmine Crockett 47 to 38 percent.
The poll shows Texans list the economy as the most important issue followed by threats to democracy.
