Trump May Endorse Cornyn as Texas GOP Primary Tightens Between Cornyn and Paxton
TL;DR Summary
Sen. John Cornyn defied expectations by staying neck-and-neck with Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas’ GOP primary, setting up a potential May runoff. National Republicans say Trump has privately signaled he’ll get involved and could endorse Cornyn if Paxton—a MAGA-favorite—appears unelectable in a general election, which could unlock substantial funding. The race highlights the clash between establishment Republicans and the MAGA wing as the party weighs Senate prospects and a Democratic challenger, James Talarico, looms in the background.
