Texas GOP Senate hopefuls Cornyn, Paxton stay in race as Trump endorsement looms

With a 5 p.m. deadline now passed and no endorsement yet from President Donald Trump, Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appear set to continue their fight for the Republican nomination in the Texas GOP Senate race. Trump had previously requested that the candidate he does not endorse “immediately drop out of the race,” but as of the deadline, he had not announced an endorsement. The contest between Cornyn and Paxton has been contentious, with both men trading sharp attacks. “For too long, John Cornyn has turned his back on us,” Paxton said at the March 3 primary election. “Character is on the ballot. Ken Paxton doesn't believe that matters,” Cornyn said at the March 3 primary election. Josh Blank, research director for the Texas Politics Project, said the race is at a pause as both candidates await Trump’s decision. “We're in something of a standstill at this point. Both candidates have made very pointed attacks at each other,” Blank said. _______________ Follow WTLF FOX 49 News on social media: WTLF FOX 49 News on Facebook:   / myfoxtallahassee   Subscribe to WTOV NEWS 9 on YouTube: For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit https://fox49.tv/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://fox49.tv/watch Have a news tip?
