Trump Rallies San Antonio for Paxton Senate Bid
President Donald Trump is back in Texas on Wednesday, headlining a major midterm rally at Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio alongside Senate candidate Ken Paxton — his third visit to the Lone Star State in less than a month.
The “Midterm Rally” is expected to draw a massive crowd as Trump works to keep Texas red and fire up Republican voters with less than four weeks until the November 3 midterm elections.
Third Texas Visit in Under a Month
Trump’s return to Texas underscores just how seriously Republicans are taking the midterms. Doors at Freeman Coliseum open at 2:30 p.m. CT, with remarks expected around 6 p.m. CT. Supporters can reserve spots through the Republican Party’s event page, with sign-ups capped at four tickets per request.
The visit comes just days after Trump toured the Peterbilt Motors facility in Denton on October 1, and follows his appearance at the GOP’s midterm convention in Dallas in September.
Congressional candidate Carlos De La Cruz is also expected to join the president on stage, as Republicans target key House districts across South Texas — including the newly redrawn 35th Congressional District, which analysts say leans Republican.
The Stakes: Paxton vs. Talarico
The main event is the Texas Senate race. Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Trump ally, is running against Democrat James Talarico for the U.S. Senate seat.
Paxton announced the rally on X, writing: “This Wednesday, I’m joining President Donald J. Trump in San Antonio for a Rally to keep Texas red and keep America First,” alongside a photo of himself shaking hands with the president.
Trump has already thrown his weight behind Paxton. At the Denton plant last week, he praised the attorney general as “the greatest attorney general in the United States of America” and urged voters to support his Senate bid.
A 32-Day Sprint to November 3
The San Antonio rally is the latest stop in what Trump has called a 32-day blitz to Election Day. He has already campaigned in Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio, and Nebraska in recent days — turning the midterms into a referendum on his presidency.
The message has been consistent throughout the tour: factory investments, tax relief, and border security, pitched directly to working Americans.
Notably, Texas Governor Greg Abbott will not attend the San Antonio rally, with his campaign citing a packed schedule of events across multiple cities that day. Abbott said Trump’s visits “create excitement among the base” and that “he does a good job of organizing the base and turning people out.”
Conclusion
With the midterm clock ticking down, Trump’s San Antonio rally puts Texas squarely at the center of the 2026 battle. For Paxton and Texas Republicans, a packed Freeman Coliseum on Wednesday night could set the tone for the final stretch of the campaign.
