Paxton Defeats Cornyn in Texas GOP Senate Runoff

President Donald Trump shook up the race a week before the runoff by endorsing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over Sen. John Cornyn.

In 2022, during the Biden administration, Trump and Cornyn feuded over gun control legislation. Trump called Cornyn a “RINO,” or Republican In Name Only, because of his support for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which increased restrictions on gun purchases and ownership, and which President Joe Biden signed into law.

The long knives are out on both sides of the aisle. November is going to be very interesting.

Yup, held my nose voting last 2 senate times. But Rs wouldn't run anybody else. We'll see what Cornyn does with his remaining time in Senate. Him & Mitch control all the RNC $.

Cornyn’s ouster marks the latest Republican to be defeated by a Trump-backed primary challenger, following Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), and several Indiana state senators in recent weeks.
