With the general election happening in just a few months, many are speculating on Trump’s plans. He has clinched the Republican nomination. Now, many are awaiting his VP running mate announcement.
Trump has promised to reveal his pick before the Republican National Convention in the summer. But there are other key roles he will need to fill, should he return to the White House.
During an event over the weekend, reporters asked Trump about a certain notable Republican. He is an icon in a major red state and just defended a leftist-led attempt at destroying his career. And Trump had this to say about his future role in the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump has revealed that he would consider Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for national AG if Trump wins in November.
When asked by a KDFW-TV reporter if he would consider Paxton for the position, Trump responded, “I would, actually,” in the interview on Saturday at the annual NRA convention in Texas.

Trump told reporters that he would consider Texas AG Ken Paxton to be his U.S. Attorney General. The former president said, “I would, actually.” He went on to praise Paxton, calling him a “very talented guy.”
Paxton is a longtime ally of Trump’s. Trump supported Paxton as members of the Texas state legislature tried to remove him from office. Paxton claimed that the Texas House leader was working with Joe Biden to take him down, despite the lawmaker being a Republican himself.
Paxton survived that ordeal and remains the Texas AG. But could he serve the entire nation as Trump’s attorney general? That would be very bad news for Democrats, whom Paxton has been fighting for years.
The Texas AG has sued the Biden administration multiple times. He has especially fought the White House over the border crisis. Texas is fighting to secure its border, as the federal government lets in millions of illegal aliens. Paxton has scored several victories in court against Biden. But many more cases are playing out.
Should he be elevated to be the head of the Department of Justice, all bets are off. Democrats could see many of their golden calves get slaughtered, as Paxton uses his new power to shut down leftist schemes.
The very last thing Democrats want is for Paxton to become the U.S. Attorney General.
