Episode Details

Ken Paxton stunned GOP insiders by defeating Senator John Cornyn in a primary with a historic 64% win, despite heavy opposition from Senate leadership like John Thune, who had poured millions into stopping him. After the shock victory, Thune and Paxton held their first productive conversation since the win — a major pivot for the party, now forced to rally behind Paxton despite past efforts to unseat him. With Trump endorsing Paxton as a “true MAGA warrior,” the GOP must now unite behind him as he faces Democrat James Talarico in a key, traditionally safe seat — where Paxton’s controversial past could make this a tough battle.
