"A lot of Republicans in D.C. are asking you to endorse John Cornyn, but you haven't yet, said a reporter. Is there a chance you would endorse Paxton? And why haven't you endorsed Cornyn? I just haven't made a decision on that race yet, said Trump. It's got a ways to go, and I haven't. (Again, early voting starts Tuesday and Election Day is in two weeks.)"
"Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is being challenged in the GOP primary by Attorney General Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt, a congressman who represents a district in the Houston suburbs. Cornyn and Paxton have sparred for years with increasing bitterness. The incumbent Cornyn is widely viewed as a stronger candidate in the general election due to Paxton's series of scandals, lawsuits, and controversies, but Paxton has gotten support from the MAGA wing of the GOP for his combative, far-right stances."
The Texas GOP Senate primary features incumbent Sen. John Cornyn challenged by Attorney General Ken Paxton and Congressman Wesley Hunt. Cornyn and Paxton have clashed for years, and Cornyn is broadly seen as the stronger general election contender because of Paxton's scandals, lawsuits, and controversies. Paxton has secured backing from the MAGA wing for his combative, far-right positions. The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Paxton narrowly leading Cornyn, with Hunt trailing. President Donald Trump has not made a decision on an endorsement and expressed support for all three candidates. Early voting runs through Feb. 27, Election Day is March 3, and runoffs are May 26.
