Ken Paxton secured the Texas Republican Senate nomination by beating John Cornyn in the runoff. Trump also urged support for Paxton at a Dallas GOP convention. The Texas Senate race is now set for November against Democrat James Talarico. Paxton’s runoff win gives Republicans a clear nominee, which may reduce uncertainty in the Texas Senate race. Trump’s backing could strengthen GOP momentum, though the broader general-election effect is still unclear.
