🗳️ What happened
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated Sen. John Cornyn, a four-term incumbent, in the Republican runoff for U.S. Senate.
Paxton’s margin was large, with some reports showing a double-digit or even 20+ point victory.
Trump’s late endorsement of Paxton is widely seen as the decisive factor in shifting Republican primary voters.
Cornyn has since conceded and is expected to exit the Senate after a long career spanning over two decades.
