Trump’s Louisiana gamble tests his grip on the GOP in a high-stakes Senate runoff

Trump’s Louisiana gamble tests whether his endorsements still sway GOP voters as Rep. Julia Letlow faces state Treasurer John Fleming in Saturday’s runoff to replace retiring Sen.

President Trump's endorsement anchors the Louisiana GOP Senate runoff between Julia Letlow and John Fleming, with Letlow favored after a May primary win and Fleming pitching himself as the true conservative alternative.

Trump Backs Paxton in Texas Senate Runoff to Rally MAGA Support

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.

Trump signals Texas Senate endorsement, urges rival to bow out

President Trump said he will endorse a candidate in Texas's GOP Senate runoff soon and asked the other candidate to drop out, a move that could tilt a tight Cornyn–Paxton race as ballots continue counting.

Trump Operatives Considered Using Stolen Voting Data to Overturn Georgia Runoff

Operatives on the payroll of former President Donald Trump discussed using stolen data from voting machines to decertify Georgia’s 2020 Senate runoff, according to text messages obtained by CNN. The operatives gained access to a voting machine in Coffee County, Georgia, after a sympathetic local election administrator allowed them to download voting data onto a portable hard drive. The breaches are being examined by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as part of a larger investigation into Trump’s attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.

Trump operatives considered using breached voting data to decertify Georgia's Senate runoff in 2021, investigation ongoing.

Text messages obtained by CNN reveal that Trump allies considered using breached voting data from a rural county in Georgia not only to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, but also in an effort to keep a Republican hold on the US Senate by decertifying the state's pending Senate runoff results. The plot to breach voting systems in Coffee County, coordinated by members of Trump’s legal team including Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, is part of a broader criminal investigation into 2020 election interference led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Willis’ office is weighing a potential racketeering case against multiple defendants and is actively deciding who to bring charges against.
