In a fiercely contested Senate runoff in Texas, incumbent Senator John Cornyn faces a significant challenge from Ken Paxton, the state attorney general endorsed by Donald Trump. As the election draws near, prediction markets suggest the possibility of a surprising outcome, raising concerns among Texas Republicans. Trump’s endorsement has galvanized Paxton’s campaign, but also created divisions within the GOP, as some party members fear his controversial background may harm their chances in the general election. With early voting reflecting a divided electorate and a high-stakes atmosphere characterized by aggressive advertising and public rallies, both candidates are making their final appeals to voters. Democrats are watching closely, sensing an opportunity to capitalize on the GOP’s internal struggles and potentially flip the state in the upcoming elections.
