UMVA has learned that a dramatic showdown is unfolding in Texas, where Senator John Cornyn is facing off against Attorney General Ken Paxton in a highly contested runoff election for the Senate seat.
President Trump recently threw his weight behind Paxton, endorsing him just days before the runoff, and it seems to have paid off: Paxton now boasts a commanding 21-point lead over Cornyn in the latest polls, a surge that has left many wondering if Cornyn can still salvage his campaign.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Trump's endorsement was a game-changer, catapulting Paxton to the top of the polls and leaving Cornyn reeling; in fact, prediction markets show Paxton leading Cornyn by a staggering 90%.
Cornyn's woes are mounting, as a super PAC supporting Paxton has launched a scathing ad targeting Democrat James Talarico, who will face Paxton in November; the ad highlights Talarico's past statements on issues like gender identity and border control, painting him as a radical leftist.
The ad features Trump himself summing up Talarico as a "weird" candidate, and concludes with a damning verdict: "Low-T Talarico, too weak for Texas."
In a strongly worded statement, Trump praised Paxton as a "GREAT Attorney General, probably the best in the Country" and a loyal ally, while lambasting Cornyn as "VERY disloyal" for not fighting hard enough for Trump's legislative priorities.
Trump's statement concluded with a ringing endorsement of Paxton, urging Texas voters to support him on Tuesday and declaring, "HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!!"
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Paxton's campaign is gaining momentum, with many voters rallying behind the Attorney General's conservative credentials and Trump's endorsement.
The runoff election on Tuesday will determine which candidate will represent Texas in the Senate, and it seems that Paxton is poised to emerge victorious.
