Angela Paxton, who filed for divorce from the Texas Republican Senate candidate last year on "biblical grounds," says in a new political ad that she will back the Republican ticket on Nov. 3, arguing that keeping the seat in GOP hands outweighs concerns about any individual candidate.

"If we lose it to the other team, the nuances that we want to fix with maybe a certain candidate are nothing compared to what it’s going to take to get it back," she added.
