U.S. Senator John Cornyn has given President Donald Trump an “A” grade for his first three weeks in office, commending his stamina and commitment to keeping promises. This endorsement comes as Cornyn faces a potential reelection challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the upcoming GOP primary.
Paxton, a strong Trump loyalist, is considering a Senate bid and has a closer relationship with the former president. Trump has endorsed Paxton in the past and praised him for his performance as Attorney General. Cornyn, on the other hand, has had a more complex relationship with Trump, initially expressing doubts about his candidacy but ultimately endorsing him in 2024.
As the potential primary battle looms, Cornyn is working to solidify support among grassroots activists who are integral in GOP primaries. He has emphasized his alignment with Trump’s policies and decisions, likely in an effort to appeal to primary voters who are loyal to the former president.
While Cornyn remains confident in his ability to win the 2026 election, he recognizes the challenges he may face in a primary against Paxton. The outcome of this showdown could significantly impact the course of Texas politics and the Republican Party’s future in the state. Cornyn’s emphasis on national security and fiscal responsibility may resonate with Texas voters as the primary election approaches.
