Ken Paxton Defeats John Cornyn in Texas Senate Primary Runoff

Outlets across the spectrum agree that Ken Paxton defeated John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff, making Paxton the party’s nominee for the general election. Left-leaning outlets cast the result as evidence of Trump’s influence and a warning about risks for Republicans. Center outlets focus on Cornyn’s unsuccessful effort to win Trump’s backing and what the result signals about party influence and unity.
