Ken Paxton said last night he’d ignore President Trump’s instructions and stay in the race if Trump backs Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican U.S, Senate runoff in Texas.
Said Paxton: “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.”
