TL;DR Summary
Texas’s GOP Senate primary has become a MAGA-friendly test as Ken Paxton challenges incumbent Sen.

Trump remains neutral, keeping the race competitive and possibly forcing a runoff on May 26 if no candidate wins a majority, while Cornyn’s allies flood the airwaves with ads to protect the seat amid Paxton’s controversial past and Paxton’s push to redefine the GOP’s image.
