Trump-backed Ken Paxton defeats incumbent John Cornyn in Texas Republican Senate runoff primary
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, defeated 23-year incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the state's Republican Senate runoff primary on Tuesday, marking a historic upset in the most expensive Senate primary campaign in U.S. history. This victory sets up a closely watched November general election against Democratic state legislator James Talarico, whose win could help Democrats reclaim Senate control during Trump's presidency; other Texas primary races saw Trump-backed candidates prevail in key contests, while Democrats avoided a controversial nominee in a critical House district.
