Trump Navigates High-Stakes Texas Senate Primary Without Single Endorsement
President Donald Trump has characterized the Texas Senate Republican primary as one of the nation’s most competitive "election battles," offering words of support for the three leading candidates while stopping short of a formal individual endorsement.
Incumbent John Cornyn, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Rep. Wesley Hunt have all actively sought Trump’s backing ahead of the March 3, 2026 primary.
While the President has praised the field, his decision to remain neutral for now keeps the race highly volatile.
Recent polling suggests a three-way split, making a May runoff increasingly likely as candidates vie for the "MAGA" mantle in this key battleground.
