MAGA Candidates Score Big in Tuesday Primary Votes as Trump Backs Paxton over Cornyn in Texas

CBN News Staff : May 20, 2026  CBN News

"I am incredibly honored to have President Trump's COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. No one has ever fought harder for the American people than President Trump, and I look forward to championing his America First agenda in the Senate!" -Ken Paxton, Texas AG

(Austin, TX) — [CBN News] President Trump showed significant muscle in Tuesday's GOP primary elections, as Kentucky voters rejected a vocal critic of the president, and his choices picked up significant wins in Alabama and Georgia. Trump also endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over incumbent Senator John Cornyn for next week's Senate runoff in the Lone Star State. (Image: iStock-Moussa81)

Trump endorsed US House candidate Ed Gallrein against Trump's Republican nemesis, Rep. Thomas Massie, who opposed Trump on several major issues, including the Epstein Files, the Iran war, and the Big Beautiful Bill. Gallrein prevailed in what became the most expensive House race in history.

In the upcoming Texas contest, the president took to Truth Social to endorse Paxton, whom he called "a true MAGA warrior." The president cited Paxton's strong support for an end to the filibuster and passage of the Save America Act as two reasons for his endorsement.

Trump added that Paxton would "tirelessly fight" for economic growth, cut taxes and regulations, advance US manufacturing, keep the border secure, promote school choice, and safeguard elections, among other stands that parallel the president's own views on the issues.

An energized Paxton wrote on Truth Social, "I am incredibly honored to have President Trump's COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. No one has ever fought harder for the American people than President Trump, and I look forward to championing his America First agenda in the Senate!"

Trump called Cornyn "a good man," but noted that the four-term incumbent "was not supportive of me when times were tough."

A disappointed Cornyn reacted to the Paxton endorsement on X, stating, "I have worked closely with President Trump through both of his Presidential terms and voted with him more than 99% of the time. He has consistently called me a friend in this race. It is now time for Texas Republican voters to decide if they want a strong nominee to help our GOP candidates down ballot and defeat (Democrat James) Talarico in November, or a weak nominee who jeopardizes everything we care about. I trust the Republican voters of Texas."

Last week, Louisiana's sitting GOP Senator Bill Cassidy was defeated in a primary after Trump endorsed one of his opponents, and five of seven Indiana state senate Republicans lost races after refusing to back a state redistricting plan supported by the White House.
