Ken Paxton Gains Strong Support from CPAC Activists in Texas Senate Race

At the recent CPAC convention, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton received overwhelming endorsement from activists, positioning him as the MAGA choice against incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the contentious Texas Senate primary. The atmosphere was charged, with attendees enthusiastically expressing support for Paxton while showing discontent towards Cornyn. Paxton criticized Cornyn for not doing enough to pass key legislation, and with a looming runoff, he has solidified his status as the preferred candidate among MAGA supporters. Despite the support for Paxton, Cornyn is mustering a wave of GOP endorsements to counter the challenge, as both candidates prepare for an increasingly aggressive primary battle.
