Trump says he hasn’t heard audio of Ken Pax­ton dis­cussing polling dip post-midterm con­ven­tion

Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump denied hear­ing leaked audio of Ken Pax­ton, the Repub­li­can Texas Sen­ate nom­i­nee, com­plain­ing that the Repub­li­can Nation­al Com­mit­tee midterm con­ven­tion did not help boost his cam­paign against Demo­c­rat James Talari­co.
“Well, I haven’t heard that, but I can tell you that the con­ven­tion was amaz­ing, as you prob­a­bly know,” Trump told reporters Wednes­day after­noon when asked about the audio. “We had 107 mil­lion views.”
