Cornyn's career-high fundraising fuels Texas GOP primary showdown

Sen. John Cornyn raised $7 million in the fourth quarter, boosting his cash on hand to more than $15 million—the best quarterly total of his career—as he faces a tight Texas Republican primary against Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt. Cornyn has attacked Paxton, who faces investigations and personal baggage, while polls show a competitive race ahead of the early March primary; a runoff could follow in late May.
