Trump endorses Ken Paxton in Texas GOP primary, boosting his challenge to incumbent Sen. Cornyn - AP News
Overview
Donald Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton earlier significantly boosted Paxton’s challenge to Sen. John Cornyn and shifted momentum in the runoff. That boost helped Paxton win the nomination, but many national GOP donors remain hesitant to embrace him because of his extensive baggage, creating a post-primary funding panic. Senate leaders have since engaged with Paxton to try to mend divisions and stabilize support as Republicans face an expensive general election in Texas.
