Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton remains firmly committed to his U.S. Senate bid against incumbent John Cornyn in the May 26 Republican primary runoff, fueling trader consensus at 97% against a dropout. Recent escalations—including mutual attack ads on border security and character, Paxton's Supreme Court win defending Texas's congressional map on April 27, and his May 13 lawsuit against North Texas cities for immigration noncooperation—underscore his aggressive campaign momentum and legal resilience following past impeachment acquittal. No credible reports of withdrawal intentions have emerged in the past 30 days, with polls like a May 5 survey showing Paxton leading. Realistic shifts could stem from a late-breaking scandal, health issue, Donald Trump's endorsement for Cornyn, or procedural developments before election day.
