Ken Paxton receives majority of votes in all Valley counties during Republican Senate runoff
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Ken Paxton secured a majority of votes in all four counties of the Rio Grande Valley during the Republican Senate runoff against incumbent John Cornyn. In Hidalgo County, Paxton led by 3,000 votes, while in Cameron County, he garnered over 63% of the total votes. Analysts from South Texas College attribute this shift to President Trump's recent endorsement of Paxton. He will face Democrat James Talarico in the upcoming November election. If victorious, Paxton will serve as a junior senator, lacking the ability to chair Senate committees. Cornyn acknowledged the voters' choice and pledged support for the Republican nominee.
