Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is making a strong push for the Republican nomination in the U.S. Senate primary runoff, with a major boost from an unexpected ally: former President Donald Trump. Trump's endorsement has significantly shifted the momentum in favor of Paxton, who is now challenging incumbent Senator John Cornyn. As the two candidates head into the final days of the runoff, Paxton's chances of victory are looking increasingly likely, with many analysts predicting a close but ultimately decisive win for the attorney general. The outcome of this election will have significant implications for Texas politics and the national Republican Party, with Paxton's victory potentially paving the way for a more conservative agenda in the Senate.
