Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico just hired a five-year veteran of Republican Sen. John Cornyn's office to help sink GOP nominee Ken Paxton.
Jacob Smith, who served as Cornyn's deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is joining Talarico's campaign as deputy political director," NOTUS reported on Monday.
Smith didn't hold back explaining his switch, saying, "Ken Paxton is the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power."
