Cornyn Concedes Texas Senate Race
Description
After 24 years in the Senate and 18 straight wins, Senator John Cornyn conceded the Texas GOP primary runoff to Attorney General Ken Paxton, citing a strong 60% win for Paxton amid just 8% voter turnout. The bitter social media feud between the two Republicans culminated in Cornyn’s quiet exit, thanking supporters and quoting Theodore Roosevelt before stepping aside. With President Trump’s endorsement and Governor Abbott’s swift congratulations, Paxton now faces Democrat James Talarico in November’s general election — setting the stage for a pivotal Senate battle. Cornyn will finish his term, but his legacy ends with a surprising loss.
