Leaked audio: Paxton says Trump's midterm convention ‘dropped our numbers’
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for Senate in the Lone Star State, said that the GOP’s midterm convention in Dallas hurt him politically. “So to be honest with you, the numbers — when we did that convention — it dropped our numbers.
60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the same leaked-audio claim, with The Hill leading on Paxton’s remark that Trump’s Dallas convention “dropped our numbers” and 60 Minutes recasting it as Paxton saying “everyone’s numbers dropped,” while attributing the report to the NYT. The Hill’s extract adds the most direct detail about Paxton and the convention, while 60 Minutes’ extract mainly frames the item as a reported political setback and pairs it with a separate line about Trump campaigning.
