Trump’s Endorsement Shakes Texas Senate Race

Texas’ Senate race is heating up as incumbent John Cornyn faces off against Attorney General Ken Paxton in a brutal, expensive Republican primary. With President Trump’s late endorsement of Paxton—aimed at rewarding loyalty—Cornyn’s lead looks shaky despite outspending his opponent. This isn’t the first time Trump has backed challengers over perceived disloyalty, and his influence is reshaping GOP politics. The winner will face Democrat James Talarico in November, while voters also pick House nominees in key districts. The race underscores Trump’s growing power in GOP primaries and sets the stage for a fiery general election. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
