Republican Ryan Binkley advances to primary runoff election in Texas' 32nd Congressional District.
Sen. John Cornyn is going on offense against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as they fight for a Republican Senate runoff, and President Donald Trump’s endorsement hangs over it all. On Thursday, Cornyn’s campaign is releasing a new video that highlights corruption and personal allegations against Paxton. The video revisits Paxton’s impeachment trial and a securities fraud case. On Wednesday, Trump said he plans to endorse one of them before the May 26 runoff and expects the other candidate to quit. Paxton says he'll stay in the race even if Trump picks Cornyn. Republican leaders worry that Paxton’s troubles may risk the seat in the fall election.
President Donald Trump says he'll soon endorse a Republican candidate in the Texas Senate race. And he's warning that the divisive contest “cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer.” Incumbent John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton advanced on Tuesday to a May 26 runoff for the nomination. Trump says in a social media post that his endorsement will be coming and that he'll ask the candidate who doesn't get his backing to drop out. Democrats have nominated state lawmaker James Talarico. Texas hasn't sent a Democrat to the Senate in nearly four decades.
State Rep. James Talarico topped Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in Texas' closely watched Democratic Senate primary. He'll face the winner of a May runoff for the Republican nomination between Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton. Cornyn and Paxton were the top finishers in a three-way contest Tuesday with Rep. Wesley Hunt. No GOP candidate hit the 50% vote threshold needed to win outright. Texas, along with North Carolina and Arkansas, on Tuesday kicked off midterm elections with control of Congress at stake and against the backdrop of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
