Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has unseated incumbent Senator John Cornyn in a surprising Republican primary runoff, fueled by an endorsement from Donald Trump. The victory marks a significant shift in Texas Republican politics, reflecting growing influence of the former president within the party. Reporting from Plano, Elizabeth Findell details how Paxton’s campaign capitalized on grassroots support and conservative messaging, overcoming Cornyn’s long-standing political presence. This outcome underscores a realignment among the state’s conservative base, potentially reshaping the GOP's direction in Texas.
The result sets up a competitive general election and could impact the U.S. Senate’s balance of power.
