President Trump Endorses Ken Paxton Over John Cornyn in Texas Senate Runoff, Sparking GOP Tensions
President Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General, over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate runoff. This endorsement comes as a surprise to many, given Cornyn's long-standing position and conservative voting record. Trump's decision to back Paxton, who he describes as a 'true MAGA Warrior,' is seen as a move to align with candidates who fully support his agenda. Cornyn, on the other hand, has been critical of Trump in the past, particularly regarding the 2024 presidential election. The endorsement has intensified the primary race, with Paxton's allies confident of victory, while Cornyn's campaign highlights Paxton's past scandals, including allegations of bribery and personal controversies. Polls indicate a potentially competitive general election in November against Democrat James Talarico.
