Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is drawing a line in the sand, declaring he won't abandon his Senate bid even if President Trump throws his support behind establishment favorite John Cornyn in the heated GOP primary battle.
"I'M STAYING IN THIS RACE," Paxton declared defiantly, as reported by conservative commentator @Polis_in_Exile on social media. The Texas AG made it crystal clear he won't bow to pressure from the political establishment, stating he owes it to the people of Texas to continue his fight.
The showdown comes as President Trump reportedly prepares to wade into the contentious May 26 primary runoff, with sources indicating he plans to endorse either Paxton or Cornyn while pushing the other to "immediately" drop out of the race. Social media user @nhoustonrich captured the brewing tension, noting Trump's call for the primary battle to end with his upcoming endorsement.
This isn't just another primary fight – it's a battle for the soul of the Republican Party in Texas. Paxton has built his reputation as a fearless conservative warrior, taking on Big Tech, fighting illegal immigration, and challenging federal overreach at every turn. Meanwhile, Cornyn represents the old guard establishment that many grassroots conservatives believe has sold out working Americans.
The fact that Paxton is willing to potentially go against a Trump endorsement shows just how committed he is to his principles. "I owe it to the people of Texas," Paxton reportedly told supporters, emphasizing his loyalty lies with voters, not political calculations.
Patriots across Texas now face a crucial decision: Will they support the establishment's chosen candidate, or will they back the proven conservative fighter who's been battling the deep state and defending constitutional rights for years?
One thing's certain – Ken Paxton isn't backing down from this fight, and that's exactly the kind of backbone Texas needs in the U.S. Senate.
