Trump Backs Paxton in Texas Senate Runoff to Rally MAGA Support
TL;DR
President Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for the May 26 Republican Senate runoff against Sen. John Cornyn, framing Paxton as a 'MAGA Warrior' who will win and urging party loyalty. The move comes as Paxton has trailed Cornyn in the March primary and after a costly race, with some Senate Republicans preferring Cornyn for the general election and early voting already underway.
