Ken Paxton Wins Texas Senate Runoff with Trump's Endorsement

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Republican Senate runoff, securing the party's nomination for the upcoming general election. Senator Cornyn acknowledged early on that President Donald Trump was unlikely to endorse him, a prediction confirmed when Trump officially endorsed Paxton. The endorsement intensified the contest, with both candidates launching extensive advertising campaigns as the runoff approached.

The primary race exposed significant ideological divisions within the Texas GOP, with observers noting the potential for Democratic gains amid the Republican infighting. Ultimately, Paxton's victory underscored Trump's continuing influence in Texas Republican politics and set the stage for a competitive November election against Democratic nominee James Talarico.
