Republicans are privately worried that Texas‘ Senate seat could flip to Democrats, and Donald Trump‘s continued silence on the matter is making things worse for them. With just days left until the Texas primary election, Washington Republicans are growing more alarmed that a bitter fight within their own party could cost them a key Senate seat.
According to Politico, Senator John Cornyn appears headed for an expensive and brutal 10-week runoff against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. There is a real chance Paxton could win the nomination, even after national Republicans spent months highlighting his scandals across Texas airwaves in an effort to boost Cornyn.
