The Daily Mail reports that Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general and Republican US Senate candidate, has been photographed holidaying in Europe with his mistress, Christian influencer Tracy Duhon, while his Senate campaign faces a tough challenge back home. The paper frames the trip as politically risky, suggesting it could anger President Donald Trump and comes as Paxton is said to be at risk of losing Texas for the Republicans for the first time in a generation.

Paxton, 63, was filmed with Duhon, 58, sightseeing near the London Eye during the week of America's 250th birthday, following a reported getaway in Iceland. The Mail says it first exposed the relationship in September, reporting that the pair became involved in May 2024 after meeting at the Kentucky Derby while both were still married. Duhon has since divorced her car dealership mogul husband and bought a $2 million home in a Dallas suburb that Paxton lists as his official address; Paxton reportedly remains legally married.
