Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton did not withdraw from the U.S. Senate Republican primary runoff by the March 18 deadline, despite earlier statements on March 5 conditioning an exit on Senate GOP leadership scrapping the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act voter ID bill. President Trump's promised endorsement of either Paxton or incumbent Sen. John Cornyn failed to materialize in time to prompt a dropout, locking in the May 26 contest. Paxton's recent legal victory defending Senate Bill 4 before the Fifth Circuit on April 24 reinforces his profile among GOP base voters. With no post-deadline signals of retreat and the ballot finalized, traders price a 90.1% implied probability against withdrawal barring unforeseen scandals or health issues.
