BREAKING: Cornyn, Paxton head to runoff for Texas GOP Senate primary

From MSNBC.

BREAKING: The Texas Republican Senate primary race is headed for a May 26 runoff election between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and MAGA firebrand Ken Paxton, The Associated Press projects.

None of Texas’ Republican Senate candidates earned more than 50% of the vote to secure their party’s nomination.

The race will be a continuation of the brutal back-and-forth between Cornyn, a member of the Republican establishment, and Paxton, a Trump loyalist who is the state’s attorney general.
