Two days into early voting in the Texas runoff that ends May 26 and after months of teasing his choice, Donald Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s primary challenge to four-term incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn on Truth Social. The post is mind-bogglingly long but makes it clear Trump deemed Paxton more loyal than Cornyn:

John Cornyn is a good man, and I worked well with him, but he was not supportive of me when times were tough and, despite having the Most Successful Economy in the History of our Country during my First Term and, with all of the many other things that I accomplished (Secure Border, Military Dominance, Space Force, All Time High Stock Markets and 401(k)s, Record Job and Economic Growth, and so many other things that would be impossible to readily list!), which are considered by many to be legendary, John was very late in backing me in what turned out to be a Historic Run for the Republican Nomination, and then, the Presidency, itself, both of which were Landslide Victories and, more importantly, gave us the Country that we have today — THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA.
