Trump's revenge Senate pick caught inflating rally numbers

Ken Paxton, President Donald Trump's scandal-plagued pick in the Texas Senate race, boasted that more than 700 people turned out for his first and only campaign rally — but got fact-checked on the real number of attendees.

The Texas attorney general hosted a rally at the University Draft House in McAllen, Texas, which had a "modest audience, topping off at 100 attendees," myRGV.com reported.

In a post on X, Paxton's campaign had claimed 763 people were at the event.

But according to myRGV.com, the location has a building occupancy of only 150 to 200 people.

The outlet referred to the crowd as "predominantly older, with a few youthful exceptions."

The Republican's opponent, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate and state representative James Talarico, has reportedly drawn larger crowds across the Lone Star state.
