President Donald Trump is endorsing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the race for US Senator from Texas.
The president made the announcement at about 11:35 am Tuesday, taking what many Texans would say is the more conservative approach to the race.
“Ken is a true MAGA Warrior who has ALWAYS delivered for Texas, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate," he wrote on his Truth Social account.
Paxton is a MAGA favorite but the endorsement is the equivalent of a snub to John Cornyn, who's been a US senator from Texas for 23 years.
The runoff is May 26, with early voting already underway
