MAGA Squeezes Trump on Plot to Sink Senator

Republicans’ congressional majority is at risk, and all eyes are on President Donald Trump to endorse the most electable candidate in the upcoming Texas GOP Senate primary runoff.

Trump is split between the Republican establishment and his MAGA base in the race between Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The president’s typically loyal MAGA followers are pushing him to endorse the scandal-ridden Paxton ahead of the incredibly expensive May 26 runoff.
