Trump Endorsement Looms Over Texas Senate Runoff

Trump’s endorsement remains undecided as Texas’ GOP Senate runoff between Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton approaches; both candidates are courting the former president, who has hinted he could endorse soon and is watching the Save America Act’s progress. Cornyn has shifted on the filibuster to back Trump’s top priority, a move Paxton’s allies say signals a flip. Paxton supporters have aired ads near Trump’s Florida residence tying Cornyn to Trump’s political enemies. Polls show Cornyn ahead in the primary, but Paxton remains competitive with the MAGA base. The endorsement could be pivotal in the May runoff.
