Trump seeks to prevent Democrats from winning in Texas While Trump seeks to increase oil production in Texas, Democrats dream of an unexpected victory in the state. During an election campaign in Texas, United States President Donald Trump, while supporting Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate for the US Senate, tried to prevent what could be the first Democratic victory in the state's general election in the last 32 years. With high gas prices putting a lot of pressure on the Republican primary on November 3, Trump campaigned on both sides of the oil-rich state. He appeared in front of a tanker carrying Venezuelan crude in the Gulf of Mexico and announced a reduction in methane regulations for oil and gas producers during his next stop in the West Texas city of Lubbock.
