The Republican Senate runoff in Texas proceeds as candidates John Cornyn and Ken Paxton remain on the ballot following the withdrawal deadline. Despite pressure from MAGA loyalists, Trump has opted not to endorse either candidate, leaving both to battle it out. The tension escalated as both campaigns launch attacks, including an AI-generated parody ad from Cornyn targeting Paxton. Recent comments from Trump suggest he is contemplating his endorsement, but as the deadline passed, the candidates are locked in for the runoff, igniting speculation on their strategies moving forward.
