Ken Paxton Challenges John Cornyn in Texas U.S. Senate Republican Primary
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, setting the stage for a contentious Republican primary battle against incumbent Senator John Cornyn. Paxton's decision to run was made public on April 8, 2025, marking a significant development in Texas politics.
Paxton, who has served as Texas Attorney General since 2015, is aiming to unseat Cornyn, who has been a U.S. Senator since 2002. The upcoming primary election is anticipated to be a heated contest, with both candidates vying for the support of Texas Republicans.
The announcement has stirred considerable interest and debate among political analysts and voters alike. Paxton's campaign is expected to leverage his high-profile role and recent legal battles, while Cornyn will rely on his long-standing Senate experience and established political network.
The Texas Republican primary is scheduled for March 2026, and the outcome of this race could have significant implications for the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
