Texas AG Ken Paxton says his main focus is making sure the 2024 election isn't stolen


Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton said that his main focus going into the upcoming election is making sure the Democratic Party doesn't steal it. 

"My primary concern really is not focusing on what's happening after the election, it's primarily focusing on winning the election and making sure they don't steal it," Paxton said on the Friday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.

"Because there's no way that Joe Biden beats President Trump given what Biden has done to the economy, given what's happened internationally, given what's happened before...there's not a good story for Biden to tell," he continued. 

Earlier this week, Trump said that he would consider nominating Paxton to be U.S. attorney general in his next administration.

The attorney general said that one of his main concerns was illegal immigrants voting in the upcoming election. 

"I believe [it's] the strategy that the Biden administration will rely on ... like they did mail-in-ballots last time," Paxton said. 

The GOP-led House passed a bill earlier this week repealing a 2022 Washington D.C. law that allows noncitizens to vote in local elections.
