· KRGV (NBC 5)
Attorney General Ken Paxton has won the Republican primary runoff for the U.S. Senate, defeating longtime incumbent John Cornyn. This victory marks a significant shift in Texas GOP politics, as Paxton's win was bolstered by an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Cornyn, who has served for over 40 years and was a prominent figure in the Senate, conceded without mentioning Paxton. The general election will see Paxton face state Rep. James Talarico, who is expected to be a formidable opponent. Paxton's victory highlights the changing dynamics within the Republican Party and the influence of Trump's endorsement.
