Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced a primary challenge against longtime Sen. John Cornyn. Paxton, a GOP hard-liner, believes it is time for a change in Texas and aims to represent Republican values and support former President Donald Trump. Cornyn, who has held his seat since 2002, is described as a battle-tested conservative by his campaign spokesperson. Paxton, who has faced legal challenges including impeachment and a securities fraud trial, has been a strong ally of Trump and has fought against the Biden administration in court. The GOP primary field for the next election also includes Rennie Mann, while former Rep. Colin Allred is the only Democrat running. Cornyn won his last primary in 2020 with a landslide victory. The race between Paxton and Cornyn sets the stage for a battle between two politicians representing different parts of the Republican Party in Texas.
