Texas Republican Ken Paxton Is Stepping up His Senate Bid Against GOP Sen. John Cornyn

Ken Paxton leads incumbent John Cornyn 36% to 27% in a new poll as he launches rallies and ads backed by a super PAC targeting MAGA-aligned Republican primary voters.

  • With early voting Tuesday, Paxton is launching a four-day series of rallies organized by Lone Star Liberty PAC to support his Senate bid.
  • Seeking to unseat four-term U.S. Senator John Cornyn, Paxton is building his appeal through high-profile conservative litigation and repeated lawsuits against the Biden administration, according to campaign strategy.
  • A Pulse Decision Science survey found Paxton at 36%, Cornyn 27%, and Hunt 15%, while Paxton's campaign began airing an ad Friday featuring President Donald Trump praising Paxton.
  • Party operatives note that Republican strategists warn Paxton as the GOP nominee would require hundreds of millions more to defend the seat in November.
  • With control of the Senate requiring four pickups for Democrats, Cornyn begins a statewide GOTV tour as early voting starts Tuesday.
