GOP Senators Rally Behind Ken Paxton

New York Times: “After Mr. Paxton trounced Senator John Cornyn of Texas by close to 30 points on Tuesday night, transforming Texas into a battleground state, Republicans have performed a very awkward pivot.”

“They quickly memory-holed months of scathing charges against Mr. Paxton that were as withering as any that Democrats might conjure up. And, swallowing their anger about the snub of Mr. Cornyn and its potential political consequences, they lined up to express varying levels of ‘all in’ on Mr. Paxton’s campaign, if not his character.”
