Ken Paxton gana la segunda vuelta en Texas con el respaldo de Trump

El fiscal general de Texas, Ken Paxton, derrotó al senador titular John Cornyn en la segunda vuelta republicana para el Senado, asegurando la nominación del partido para las próximas elecciones generales. El senador Cornyn reconoció que el expresidente Donald Trump probablemente no lo respaldaría, lo que se confirmó cuando Trump apoyó oficialmente a Paxton. El respaldo intensificó la contienda, con ambos candidatos lanzando campañas publicitarias extensas a medida que se acercaba la segunda vuelta.

La primaria reveló divisiones ideológicas significativas dentro del Partido Republicano de Texas, y observadores señalaron el potencial de ganancias demócratas en medio de las disputas republicanas. Finalmente, la victoria de Paxton destacó la influencia continua de Trump en la política republicana texana y preparó el escenario para unas elecciones competitivas en noviembre contra el nominado demócrata James Talarico.
