George P. Bush May Challenge Ken Paxton For Texas AG

The Texas Tribune reports:

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush said Thursday he is “seriously considering” running for attorney general in 2022 — and detailed how he would challenge the incumbent, embattled fellow Republican Ken Paxton.

“This is the only Bush that likes me,” President Trump says jokingly of Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush.
