Donald J. Trump 5/24/2026

TEXAS, REMEMBER! Ken Paxton was a GREAT Attorney General, probably the best in the Country. He was also very loyal to your favorite President, ME, as the Dumocrats played their ultimate game of  Weaponization, and failed, BADLY! I LOVE Texas, and WON it all three times, getting, by far, the highest (A Record!) Vote in the History of that Great & Beautiful State. Ken’s opponent was VERY disloyal to me, as President, and didn’t fight hard enough for the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT - VOTER I.D., PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (with exceptions for Military, Illness, Disability, or Travel!). What more needs to be said??? Vote for Ken Paxton on Tuesday, HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!!  President DONALD J. TRUMP

I'd like to see Mr. Paxton win, but I read elsewhere that he's actually trailing Cornyn in the runoff.

Has anyone heard differently?
(Guess we'll find out tomorrow...)

The Senate GOP primary runoff in Texas is suddenly shaping up to be a wipeout, according to prediction markets, as Republican voters prepare to choose Tuesday who will face Democrat James Talarico in November.

In what was once a toss-up Senate primary race, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Sen. John Cornyn battled for an endorsement from President Donald Trump. Paxton won that fight, and the shift in markets quickly followed suit.

As of Sunday afternoon, Paxton led incumbent John Cornyn by nearly 90% on the online prediction market Kalshi. And on Polymarket, Paxton had a 96% chance of winning Tuesday’s election.
