Trump Delays Endorsement in Texas Senate Runoff

Outlets agree that Trump has not endorsed in the Texas Republican Senate runoff and that Paxton said he would consider leaving the race if the Senate passed the SAVE America Act. Center outlets emphasize the leaked, stalled prospect of a Cornyn endorsement and how Paxton's offer shifted attention to the SAVE Act and filibuster. Right-leaning outlets cast Trump's delay as pressure on Senate Republicans to pass the act and highlight Cornyn's shift on the filibuster, with some framing the bill as an election-integrity measure.
