WASHINGTON — Tuesday’s Texas Senate Republican primary will provide the first glimpse of where voters stand after nearly a year of bitter competition and over $95 million spent in a contest between towering figures in Texas — and national — politics.
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt are competing to be the Republican nominee come November, with stakes that will be felt across Texas and in Washington, where the GOP political establishment has mounted a massive campaign to keep Cornyn among its ranks.
