Key points This warning came as Trump considered endorsing Paxton over John Cornyn. Senate GOP leaders warned President Donald Trump that his political operation would need to fund Ken Paxton's general election campaign if he won the primary.
Senate GOP leaders warned President Donald Trump that his political operation would need to fund Ken Paxton's general election campaign if he won the primary. This warning came as Trump considered endorsing Paxton over John Cornyn.
Despite this warning, Trump's team has not provided financial support to Paxton's campaign. Republicans are becoming anxious as Democrat James Talarico has been able to advertise heavily, outspending the GOP by roughly seven times since June.
Further details about the situation and the concerns of Republican sources are available from the source publication.
