"Channeling his inner Trump" - His actual fight over property taxes is with Patrick, but Abbott's political operation is threatening lobbyists' livelihoods on that issue while Abbott himself threatens local governments. HK has a lot to say about both podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

It's BS: The idea that Sen @JohnCornyn has been disloyal to President Trump is completely made up. @brikeilarcnn and I talked about the GOP US Senate runoff in Texas on @cnn tonight vimeo.com/1195442114/861…

Joining CNN momentarily for one last update before polls open in Texas tomorrow morning for election day in the Republican US Senate runoff.

No matter how it goes Tuesday, Sen Cornyn has already found out that loyalty up to Trump *never* earns loyalty back down. @jessicadean and I talked about it on @CNN youtu.be/FFcavgkuSHw?si…

.@TeamCornyn: "Judgement Day is coming for Ken Paxton, maybe in more ways than one. But the election on May the 26th is the first time that he will actually have been held accountable for all of his misdeeds."

Houston: Sen @JohnCornyn appearing now with former Senator Phil Gramm

Sen Gramm argues Sen @JohnCornyn is the one who can actually get things done, then Texas' Senior Sen makes his closing arguments of the campaign

Despite the Trump endorsement for Paxton @kilmeade on Fox says hopefully @JohnCornyn can still win, he says @KenPaxtonTX is too flawed a candidate

What I witnessed last night was the machine hated Massie for being honest and trying hold pedophiles accountable. It's a dark day for Republicans when someone who tries to hold other Republicans accountable is despised by Republican leadership. The message from leadership is this "Submit to corruption and turn a blind eye, or you are not welcome." Every Republican voter should be ashamed of that message.

Republican voters across Texas are now being texted this survey about the Trump endorsement of Paxton

NEWS — Paxton endorsement shifts Democratic focus to Texas For the first time, a major super PAC aligned with Chuck Schumer signaled its willingness to jump into the race. Party insiders told @NOTUSreports they are impressed by Talarico's fundraising, but there are signs that support from Washington could be coming But other donors and bundlers told us that Texas shouldn't leapfrog other states in terms of allocation of resources, pointing to states like Alaska and Iowa as better opportunities Texas wasn't even one of Schumer's top targets he identified earlier this year. Leadership had long thought their only chance at competing in Texas was with Paxton as the candidate Today Dems got one step closer to that scenario notus.org/2026-election/…
