Senate GOP Incumbents Brace for Primary Challenges

“Several GOP Senate incumbents are already staring down the threat of primary challenges next year as friction builds between the MAGA and establishment wings,” The Hill reports.

“Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who plans to run for reelection in 2026, is facing a possible primary challenger in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a longtime ally of President-elect Trump. Meanwhile, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who voted to convict Trump in his 2021 impeachment, has already drawn a MAGA challenger. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who was censured by his state party in 2023, could also face a tough fight from the right.”
