Trump's Texas Senate Endorsement: Cornyn vs Paxton

President Trump weighs endorsement for Texas Senate runoff: Cornyn vs. Paxton

President Donald Trump is considering endorsing either Senator John Cornyn or Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate runoff on May twenty-sixth. Both candidates failed to secure a majority in the March primary, leading to a showdown. Trump has hinted at leaning towards Cornyn, a four-term incumbent, but faces pressure from hard-line conservatives who view Cornyn as too tied to Washington insiders. Critics argue Cornyns past comments dismissing Trumps ideas and his record on issues like gun control could alienate Trumps base. Meanwhile, Paxton plans to keep fighting at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, leaving Trump to navigate the pressure from both sides.
