Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton advanced to the Republican U.S. Senate primary runoff against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn after the March 3, 2026, primary, but did not withdraw by the critical March 17 ballot deadline despite earlier conditional statements linking an exit to President Trump's endorsement or GOP policy concessions like voter ID legislation. Recent first-quarter fundraising reports show Cornyn outraising Paxton fourfold, yet Paxton has sustained campaign momentum through public appearances, issue-focused Q&As, and CPAC remarks, fueling trader consensus at 97% "No" on dropout ahead of the May 26 runoff. While improbable, late-breaking Trump endorsement for Cornyn, a major scandal, health issue, or legal development in Paxton's pending securities fraud case could prompt a concession.
