Ken Paxton Sets Conditions for Exiting Runoff

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) suggested that he would be open to dropping out of the hotly contested Texas Senate primary against Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) if Senate Republicans met several conditions, The Hill reports.

Paxton said he would consider exiting the race if Senate leadership eliminated the filibuster — the 60-vote threshold needed to clear most legislation in the upper chamber — and passed a bill that would require voters to show proof of citizenship to register to vote.
