Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated four-term Senator John Cornyn in the May 26 Republican primary runoff by a 28-point margin, making Cornyn the first Republican senator from Texas ever to lose renomination. The result, driven by Trump's endorsement and grassroots MAGA energy, has shifted the general election landscape: the Cook Political Report moved the Texas Senate race to "Lean Republican," and polls show Democrat James Talarico leading Paxton by 5-8 points — raising the prospect that a seat long considered safe could jeopardize the GOP's narrow Senate majority.
