“President Donald Trump is poised to welcome yet another victory on his revenge tour today despite the risk it could have on his Capitol Hill priorities,” Politico reports.
“Ken Paxton has emerged as the clear front-runner against Sen. John Cornyn in the final days of the Texas Senate runoff after Trump in the eleventh hour boosted the scandal-plagued MAGA ally — a decision that has alienated some of his own members in Congress.”
“It’s the latest example of Trump targeting members of the GOP he sees as insufficiently loyal to him. But several Republicans in Texas and Washington warn that the bad blood could jeopardize the president’s legislative agenda and risk deflating major GOP donors needed to help the party keep control of the seat and Congress.”
Washington Post: A runoff in Texas primary will test Trump’s grip on GOP.
Politico: Republicans worry the Cornyn-Paxton fight is tearing their party apart.
