Welcome to Politics by Faith. It's where we take the news of the day. We bring it to the Bible

so we can walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every day. But Ecclesiastic says

there's nothing new on us on the site. So thanks for being here for the true story. The story of the day,

Ken Paxton winning, the Senate primary in Texas. I think this is a very

simple storyline. We have a four-term incumbent senator who spent $100 million on the first round

of the primary. So if you win the first round of the primary by 50% or more, if you get 50% of the vote or more, then you win outright and there's no runoff. If you don't get 50% then the top two move on to the runoff. So that's what was, yes, it was the runoff. So the first round, the four-term incumbent spent a hundred million dollars to try to get the 50% knowing that if it went to the runoff, he was going to lose. So he had to go for broke right from the jump. And he tried. And he won by one point. He didn't get the 50%. He got 41%. And he only would be Paxton by a point. And Paxton's team spent like $5 million. I've heard some maybe $10 million. So cornny spent at least 10 times as much money.

Come on.

And it's a very simple analysis here.

Cornyn is a swamp creature.

It's been there for a long time.

He's a rhino who passed an anti-Second Amendment bill, among other problems.

Paxton, on the other side, is a fighter.

He's Maga. He's pro-Trump., is a fighter. He's Maga.

He's pro-Trump.

He's new blood.

He's got baggage, for sure.

But I think people realize that you run for a senator, not the elder of your church.

This is draining the swamp.

There's different aspects of the swamp.

You have the deep state swamp creature.

You have the permanent Washington swamp creature.

You got the lobium swamp creature.
