Summary
President Donald Trump has not yet taken sides in the Texas Republican Senate primary, saying he likes all three candidates: Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Rep. Wesley Hunt. Trump’s comments came on the eve of early voting in Texas, which begins ahead of the March 3 primary. Cornyn is seeking re-election, while Paxton and Hunt are challenging him. Trump has not endorsed any candidate, despite earlier saying he would make an endorsement soon.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
President Trump is taking his time to decide on an endorsement, while the candidates continue to vie for his support. Cornyn is highlighting his Trump credentials, while Paxton and Hunt question his loyalty to the president. The NRSC and establishment Republicans are concerned that a Paxton win could give Democrats a chance to flip the Senate seat in November. The primary race is competitive, with many public opinion polls suggesting Paxton and Cornyn battling it out with Hunt in third place.
The candidates are performing their roles, with Trump watching from the sidelines, waiting for the right moment to make his move.
