Texans Trounce Rino Cornyn
John Cornyn has held his Senate seat from Texas for the past 24 years, but the RINO ran into an absolute buzzsaw in Tuesday’s primary runoff. Texans overwhelmingly voted to end Cornyn’s Senate tenure and shift instead to Ken Paxton, the MAGA-beloved Attorney General who had received the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
Paxton not only routed Cornyn in rural areas, but also amassed impressive victories in most of the urban centers of Texas, although Cornyn held his own in Dallas, while getting shellacked in Houston. Paxton received more than 60 percent of the vote, with Cornyn only managing less than 40 percent. The Associated Press called Paxton as the winner of the race at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
Elsewhere, longtime Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Al Green, an outspoken foe of Trump, got his shorts cleaned by Christian Menefee. Also apparently losing: Democratic House candidate Maureen Galindo, who had shocked voters with her extremist, anti-Israel rhetoric. It looks as if Johnny Garcia will clip her in House District 35, facing off against Republican Carlos de la Cruz in November.
Here is Paxton’s acceptance speech, presented by the Associated Press.
