Trump weighs Cornyn endorsement, risking MAGA friction in Texas

President Donald Trump is weighing endorsing longtime Senate incumbent John Cornyn over his loyal ally Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a high-stakes Republican primary, a move that could alienate parts of the MAGA base that backed Paxton’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results; Trump had previously called Cornyn a “RINO,” highlighting potential tension between the movement and its Texas allies.
