On Tuesday, Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, declared his intention to compete against Senator John Cornyn in the Republican primary scheduled for next year. This move is anticipated to lead to an intense and costly battle within the party as both figures represent distinct factions of the Texas GOP.
Paxton, known for his fiery conservative approach and strong association with President Trump, had hinted at his plans for weeks prior to the announcement. In an interview with The New York Times last week, he nearly confirmed his candidacy; however, his official announcement came during an appearance on Fox News, where he showcased a campaign website featuring an image of himself with Trump.
During the interview with Laura Ingraham, Paxton stated that he believes Texas is ready for a change and voiced his commitment to fight for Trump's policies. He communicated his determination to challenge the D.C. establishment vigorously, promising to advocate for a more conservative approach in Washington.

He can't even stay out of legal trouble in Texas, how can we expect him to represent us in DC?

Another political circus coming our way. Paxton's track record is questionable, and Cornyn is at least experienced.

Trump endorsement? That's a winner! We need someone who will stand with the President.

Paxton is going to try to play on fear and division. Texas deserves an honest debate.
