Trump weaponizes Texas endorsement to push the SAVE America Act

President Donald Trump is delaying his endorsement in the Texas Senate GOP primary to pressure Republican senators to back the SAVE America Act, a high-priority voting-restrictions bill. Paxton’s threat to drop his campaign if the bill advances has shifted dynamics, giving Trump leverage as Cornyn remains a leading but not guaranteed ally. The White House has signaled this is a top priority, while supporters and opponents in Texas jockey for influence as the bill stalls in the Senate and faces a filibuster hurdle.
