Cornyn and Paxton Remain in Texas Senate Runoff as Trump Delays Endorsement

John Cornyn and Ken Paxton remain in Texas’s Republican Senate runoff, and Trump has not endorsed either candidate. Left-leaning outlets frame Trump’s decision as a retreat that signals weakness. Center outlets mostly focus on the runoff and Trump’s delayed choice, often linking it to the SAVE America Act and sometimes noting criticism of the delay. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Cornyn’s distance from Republican grassroots voters and Paxton’s support among conservatives.
