Cornyn's Era Ends with Paxton
Description
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has officially clinched the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, signaling the end of Senator John Cornyn’s historic 40-year political career. Cornyn, the longest-serving Texas senator in recent history, rose from state judge to Texas Supreme Court justice to Attorney General before ascending to Washington in 2001. Known as a steady, establishment Republican, his longevity and influence were both his legacy and his vulnerability in this fiercely contested race. Paxton’s victory marks a seismic shift in Texas’s Senate leadership, ending Cornyn’s era and reshaping the state’s political future.
