flag Republican Congressman Wesley Hunt launched a 2026 Senate bid against Sen. John Cornyn and AG Ken Paxton, sparking GOP backlash over party unity.

flag Republican Congressman Wesley Hunt of Texas has launched his 2026 Senate campaign, challenging incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton in a Republican primary that has drawn sharp criticism from top GOP leaders. flag Hunt, a two-term Houston-area congressman and Army veteran, argues that Cornyn’s ties to Trump and Paxton’s legal issues warrant a third candidate to unify the party. flag Despite being labeled a "vanity project" by Senate leaders like John Thune and Tim Scott, who warn his entry could jeopardize Republican control of the Senate, Hunt has spent millions on ads and positions himself as a bridge between Trump-aligned and establishment Republicans. flag The race is expected to be highly competitive, with potential for a runoff, and could influence the broader GOP strategy in the 2026 midterms.
