Cornyn warns of ‘massacre’ if Paxton beats him in Texas GOP primary
Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and challenger Ken Paxton campaign statewide as early voting begins, with Paxton holding a minor polling lead and a runoff expected, experts say.
- Senator John Cornyn warned Texas Republicans that if Ken Paxton wins the GOP primary, it could lead to a significant loss for Republicans in statewide elections, including the U.S. Senate seat, due to Paxton's political baggage and controversies.
- Cornyn criticized Paxton's ability to energize voters, stating that many independents, Democrats, and Republicans would avoid supporting him because of his record and controversies.
- Paxton claimed he can energize low-turnout Trump supporters crucial for Republican success and cited a University of Houston poll showing competitive standings against Democrats and favorable views among Republican voters for Paxton over Cornyn.
- President Donald Trump has remained neutral in the Senate primary, expressing support for all candidates and is unlikely to endorse anyone in a runoff election.
