“Donald Trump just ousted another Republican he viewed as insufficiently loyal. Two years from now, his revenge list could be even longer,” Politico reports.

“The president has already lashed out at two House Republicans due to perceived slights, with the White House floating a longer list of potential targets over the past year. Trump could also take aim at several GOP senators up for reelection in 2028 — including Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Kentucky’s Rand Paul and Indiana’s Todd Young — as he seeks to make a lasting mark on the Republican Party in the final stretch of his presidency.”

“Ken Paxton, the scandal-scarred attorney general of Texas and loyalist to President Trump, defeated Senator John Cornyn in a Republican primary runoff election on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, casting out the state’s senior senator and bolstering Democratic hopes of flipping the seat,” the New York Times reports.

“Lifted by a late endorsement from Mr. Trump that infuriated Republican senators, Mr. Paxton overcame accusations of personal misdeeds and professional corruption, as well as a substantial fund-raising disadvantage, to prevail in one of the nation’s most expensive and acrimonious Republican primary races.”

The Republican U.S. Senate runoff in Texas will come to a head tonight when polls close at 8 p.m. ET.

“When Angela Paxton, a conservative state senator in Texas, issued an endorsement list on Tuesday for the state’s primary runoffs, one race was conspicuously absent: the Senate contest that involves her estranged husband,” the New York Times reports.

“Ms. Paxton filed for divorce last year ‘on biblical grounds’ from Ken Paxton, the state’s attorney general. She had stayed neutral until the end in his bid to unseat Senator John Cornyn of Texas in the Republican primary.”
