The article says a Trump-backed candidate defeated Rep. Thomas Massie in a Republican primary, but argues the result does not demonstrate Trump’s strength. It also suggests Ken Paxton could overtake John Cornyn in a Texas Senate primary.
The author says Massie received nearly 46% of the vote despite heavy spending against him and repeated criticism from Trump. The author argues that the result reflects Trump’s weakness, citing low turnout and Trump’s 31% approval rating. The article also says Paxton may overtake Cornyn, but does not develop that forecast.
