Ken Paxton’s estranged wife urges voters to back his Senate bid, yet avoids mentioning him by name

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center on the same basic fact pattern: Ken Paxton’s estranged wife appears in a new ad backing the Republican ticket while avoiding his name. The New York Times and NBC News both foreground the wording she uses to generalize her support, with the Times highlighting “whole team” and NBC emphasizing that she did not mention Paxton directly. CNN is the only one to add that the ad follows earlier remarks by Paxton urging Republican women to support GOP candidates.
