Texas Primary

President Donald Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over Senator John Cornyn in the upcoming primary, dealing a significant blow to Cornyn. Paxton has positioned himself as a stronger ally of Trump, while Cornyn has been criticized for not supporting Trump in 2024. The runoff is a week away, with early voting underway. Democrats are optimistic about their candidate, James Tellerico, who won the primary. Special elections have shown a significant shift to the left, indicating a challenging year for Republicans. The conversation also touched on the ethical implications of political endorsements and the potential for a Democratic win in Texas.
