The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which had backed Cornyn in the Senate GOP primary runoff, deleted a statement from July 2025 after Paxton s estranged wife, Angela Paxton, said she had filed for divorce on biblical grounds.
The NRSC issued a statement through spokesperson Joanna Rodriguez at the time, saying, What Ken Paxton has put his family through is truly repulsive and disgusting. No one should have to endure what Angela Paxton has, and we pray for her as she chooses to stand up for herself and her family during this difficult time.
