President Donald Trump celebrated Wednesday after his chosen candidate in the Texas Republican primary runoff for Senate, Attorney General Ken Paxton, defeated four-term incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).
“Congratulations to Ken Paxton on such a tremendous win, and to John Cornyn for having run a strong and powerful race but, more importantly, having had a truly great career,” he posted on Truth Social. The president also rehashed an old insult he once used for former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, calling Paxton’s Democratic opponent James Talarico, “Alfred E. Neuman,” the fictitious mascot for Mad Magazine.
