Ken Paxton campaign no longer has Alamo event scheduled

Texas Republican Senator candidate Ken Paxton has scrapped his final campaign event at the Alamo in San Antonio, where he had planned to conclude his "Come and Take It" bus tour on November 2. The decision comes as Hispanic voters are reportedly flooding Texas polls ahead of the election, potentially impacting the outcome of the race against Democrat James Talarico. Originally scheduled stops for Monday were moved to Conroe and Allen, both over 300 miles away from San Antonio, raising questions about why Paxton changed his plans. The Alamo Trust had previously stated that it was unaware of Paxton's intentions and highlighted their policy prohibiting political advocacy at the historic site. Despite the Alamo having a designated free-speech zone available for use without a permit, under specific restrictions, it remains unclear whether Paxton intended to utilize this space or if other factors influenced his decision to alter his campaign schedule. Texas has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, but recent polls suggest Talarico is currently leading by a slight margin.
