Senate GOP Candidates in Texas Rally with Trump, but Leave without an Endorsement
- On Friday, President Donald Trump visited Corpus Christi, Texas, and fired off a flurry of Texas endorsements on Truth Social but withheld an endorsement in the U.S. Senate primary at the Port of Corpus Christi.
- Three Republicans in the race are Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt, with early voting ended Friday and the primary set for Tuesday and a May 26 runoff if no one reaches 50%.
- At the Port of Corpus Christi, Trump name-checked contenders and told reporters he's “pretty much” decided but would not disclose his pick, citing a 12% LNG export expansion and a 360,000-barrel oil tanker.

- Trump also endorsed Gov. Greg Abbott and cited his efforts to add five House seats, while GOP leaders prefer Sen. John Cornyn due to Paxton's allegations and Latinos disapproval.
