Story summary

President Trump made his third visit to San Antonio, Texas, on October 7, ahead of the midterms, to campaign for Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton. During a rally at Freeman Coliseum, several protesters interrupted Trump's speech, leading to chaotic scenes and confrontations with supporters. Trump accused some of these individuals of being "paid protesters," while heckling continued throughout his address. Despite this disruption, the event aimed to boost support for Paxton in an increasingly tight race against Democratic opponent James Talarico, with less than a month until Election Day.
