Trump's Endorsement Shakes Up Texas Senate Race

In a Texas Senate race, the influence of President Trump's endorsement and the influx of money have complicated incumbent John Cornyn's path to the runoff. Cornyn, once close to Trump, fell out of favor due to his establishment ties and late endorsement. Ken Paxton, the leading Republican candidate with recent poll surges, has faced long-standing controversies but continues to win. The Democratic candidate, James Tarico, will face challenges in the general election due to Texas' primary rules and the need to sway moderates and independents.
