Texas Senate GOP runoff between Cornyn and Paxton remains undecided after deadline passes, no Trump endorsement, runoff set for May 26.

The Texas Republican Senate runoff between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton remains unresolved as the Tuesday withdrawal deadline passes, with no endorsement from former President Donald Trump despite his earlier pledges. Both candidates continue campaigning, with Cornyn highlighting Paxton’s impeachment and ethical issues, while Paxton frames Cornyn as disloyal to MAGA principles. Paxton has linked his potential exit to whether Senate Republicans eliminate the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, a voting bill that faces near-certain defeat. Cornyn’s allies warn Paxton would be a general election liability, but neither candidate has stepped aside, ensuring a May 26 runoff.
