Texas GOP Senate primary voters advanced Attorney General Ken Paxton to a May 26 runoff against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn after the March 3 first round, and the March 18 deadline to withdraw from the ballot passed without Paxton exiting, locking in the high-stakes intraparty contest. Recent polls show Paxton leading 53%-37%, bolstered by grassroots endorsements, fueling trader consensus at 95.5% against a dropout as campaigns intensify with attack ads and await a potential Trump endorsement. While Paxton's history of legal challenges lingers, realistic shifts could stem from a decisive scandal escalation, health issues, or strategic party pressure before the runoff.
