Texas Senate showdown threatens GOP hold as Paxton faces Cornyn
TL;DR Summary
With the Texas primary looming, Republicans fear the intra-party feud between Attorney General Ken Paxton and Sen. John Cornyn could jeopardize the GOP’s Senate hold. Paxton remains competitive and could win outright or force a runoff, while Cornyn is viewed by NRSC allies as stronger in a general election. About $100 million has already been spent in ads, and donors worry the money spent here could crowd out other battleground races. Trump’s endorsement decision is still undecided, keeping the outcome highly unpredictable.
