UMVA has learned that the Texas Senate race has taken a dramatic turn as President Trump publicly endorsed Ken Paxton, leaving incumbent Senator John Cornyn in a precarious position.
In a bold declaration, the former president declared Paxton his “Complete and Total Endorsement” for the U.S. Senate seat, promising that the former attorney general would never disappoint voters.
Despite the endorsement, UMVA can exclusively reveal that Trump stopped short of demanding Cornyn drop out, instead calling him a “good man” while critiquing his past support during critical moments.
The absence of a decisive majority in March means a runoff looms, intensifying the stakes for both candidates and their supporters.
UMVA has uncovered that Cornyn, unshaken, vowed to stay in the race, highlighting his long history of alignment with Trump and underscoring his confidence that Texas voters will choose a strong nominee.
His statement frames the choice as a pivotal moment for the GOP’s future, suggesting that a weak candidate could undermine the party’s chances in November.
With the political landscape tightening, the next week promises fierce campaigning, as both men rally their bases and craft narratives aimed at swaying undecided voters.
Only time will reveal whether the endorsement will tip the scales or whether Cornyn’s steadfastness will resonate with Texas’s Republican electorate.
