Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday said not even President Donald Trump could push him out of the Texas Senate contest, telling a right-wing cable news show that he still plans to stay in the GOP primary runoff against Sen. John Cornyn even if he does not earn Trump's endorsement.
I'm staying in this race," Paxton told Real America's Voice. "I owe it to the people of Texas. I've spent a year of my life campaigning against John Cornyn because John has not represented the people of Texas well. He's been against Trump in both of his elections, said he shouldn't run last time. The people of Texas, at least the Republicans, would like something different."
Paxton"s comments came after Trump said on Wednesday he was finally going to acquiesce to establishment Republicans' pleas and get off the sidelines to endorse in Texas' Republican Senate primary. Trump added that whomever he doesn't pick should drop out of the race to spare the GOP an expensive and bruising runoff that could hurt the eventual nominee in November"s general election.
"I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I don"t Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE!" Trump wrote a post on Truth Social."We must win in November!!"
