Trump misses withdrawal deadline as Texas Senate runoff ballots finalize Cornyn vs. Paxton
TL;DR Summary
Trump’s demand that the Texas Senate runoff candidates drop out did not alter the race after the withdrawal deadline passed, leaving incumbent John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton on the ballot for the May 26 runoff. While Trump may still endorse a candidate, the canvass timing determined the deadline, and Republicans still face a costly runoff with both candidates set to compete for the GOP’s Senate majority.
