❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump has publicly endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for the U.S. Senate, praising his loyalty and commitment to the MAGA movement. “Ken is a true MAGA Warrior who has ALWAYS delivered for Texas, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate,” the President said, contrasting Paxton with incumbent Senator John Cornyn, who “was not supportive of me when times were tough” and “very late in backing me in what turned out to be a Historic Run for the Republican Nomination, and then, the Presidency.” 💬 KEY QUOTE: “Ken Paxton has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next United States Senator from the Great State of Texas – KEN PAXTON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” – President Trump 🎯 IMPACT: Trump’s endorsement could significantly boost Paxton’s campaign as he heads into a runoff against incumbent Senator John Cornyn, a Republican-in-name-only (RINO) with a long history of backstabbing the President. 📰 DETAIL: Trump highlighted Paxton’s support for terminating the filibuster and passing the election integrity-enhancing Save America Act, as well as his commitment to MAGA priorities like border security, tax cuts, and energy dominance. “Our Country needs Fighters, and also Loyalty to the Cause of Greatness. We can never allow what happened to the United States of America during the Corrupt Biden Administration, to happen again,” he stressed. The primary runoff is on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, with early voting already underway from May 18 until May 22. |
