Republican infighting could put the reliably red state in jeopardy this fall as President Trump stands on the sidelines

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt are competing to be the Republican nominee come November, with stakes that will be felt across Texas and in Washington.

Sen. John Cornyn is in the fight of his political career in Texas, as Trump's Republican Party decides whether the longtime senator is MAGA enough.

The four-term senator is determined to prevail Tuesday against two challengers who view him as a relic of the George W. Bush era. The race could go to a runoff in May.

The usually low-key race has taken on a bigger profile this year with a contested Republican primary.

The 2026 Texas Republican U.S. Senate primary has become a national proxy battle over the GOP’s direction.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune warned that Republicans risk losing a Senate seat in Texas if the party nominates state Attorney General Ken Paxton as the nominee. The post Top Senate Republican Warns Democrats Could Flip Texas Seat if Ken Paxton Is the GOP Nominee first appeared on Mediaite.
