Earlier today President Trump noted he would be giving an endorsement in the highly contested Texas Republican primary race. President Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton.
(Via Truth Social) – The Highly Respected Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, an America First Patriot, and someone who has always been extremely loyal to me and our AMAZING MAGA MOVEMENT, is running for the United States Senate, to represent a place I love and WON, BIG, three times, with 6.4 Million Votes in 2024 (The Most Votes in the History of the State, BY FAR)!
I know Ken well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a WINNER! Ken is a Strong Supporter of TERMINATING THE FILIBUSTER and, very importantly, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, something which polls at 87%, including Dumocrats, and yet can’t seem to get approved. Perhaps Ken can help move these important elements of Government forward because with the Filibuster, as an example, the Democrats will terminate it on their First Day in Office, giving us two extra States, D.C. and Puerto Rico, and a greatly enlarged Supreme Court of the United States, probably going with their Dream Number of 21 Justices from the 9 that we currently have — And these new Justices will be Radical Left Lunatics! Two years ago, our Country was DEAD — Now we have the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World — And I want to keep it that way. Ken Paxton will help me do that, MAKING AMERICA BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!
Ken is a true MAGA Warrior who has ALWAYS delivered for Texas, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate. He will tirelessly fight to continue the Great Growth of our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations (I just delivered the Largest Tax and Regulation Cuts in American History!), and Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Champion Texas Oil & Gas, Advocate for our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Promote School Choice, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Incredible Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.
John Cornyn is a good man, and I worked well with him, but he was not supportive of me when times were tough and, despite having the Most Successful Economy in the History of our Country during my First Term and, with all of the many other things that I accomplished (Secure Border, Military Dominance, Space Force, All Time High Stock Markets and 401(k)s, Record Job and Economic Growth, and so many other things that would be impossible to readily list!), which are considered by many to be legendary, John was very late in backing me in what turned out to be a Historic Run for the Republican Nomination, and then, the Presidency, itself, both of which were Landslide Victories and, more importantly, gave us the Country that we have today — THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA (and when we finish up with Iran, which will not be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon, you will see numbers that have never been generated by our Country before!), as opposed to the DISASTER of the previous Administration.
Ken Paxton has gone through a lot, in many cases, very unfairly, but he is a Fighter, and knows how to WIN. Our Country needs Fighters, and also Loyalty to the Cause of Greatness. We can never allow what happened to the United States of America during the Corrupt Biden Administration, to happen again. In Texas alone, just look at the Border, with the Highest Level Criminals allowed to run through your State, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Border Policy that was a Laughingstock all over the World. I came in, and fixed it, IMMEDIATELY. I will not permit those dark and dangerous days to come back! WE HAVE ALREADY MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, BUT NOW, WE WANT TO MAKE OUR NATION BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE. Therefore, Ken Paxton has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next United States Senator from the Great State of Texas – KEN PAXTON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
I am incredibly honored to have President Trump’s COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT.
No one has ever fought harder for the American people than President Trump, and I look forward to championing his America First agenda in the Senate!
Texas, get out and VOTE! pic.twitter.com/vGcWH4ZwaD— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) May 19, 2026

I hope to see John Cornyn and Thomas Massie go down in a spectacular, spiraling flaming fireball, in their primaries. Neither one of them are any friend to President Trump, the American People, or this Nation. Although I have seen them outright lie to the People saying they were, when in actual fact, their talk and actions prove just the opposite. We do not need people like these two, in the Republican Party. There are already too many just like them that we still need to get rid of, who are undercutting, slow walking, and deliberately sabotaging President Trump and his agenda. John Thune, John Barrasso, James Lankford, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Susan Collins, are a few prominent ones at the top of the list, but there are others also. Of course, this is my personal opinion and is not shared by all.
Agree with you 100% Harry. Unfortunately, we are in Maine so we have to hold our noses and vote for Collins. She is probably the only R who could win in the whole state. The 2nd district, where we live voted for President Trump 3 times. District 1 is like a mini Massachusetts.
I was really happy to see Cassidy lose his primary.
What? You mean you don’t want to vote for a man who has a Nazi tattoo and fiddles himself in a porta potty? /s
So said the people electing McCain year after year; McConnell, Thune, Murkowski, Tillis, Cornyn, and Graham. There are many more, but this only points out that real men are not stepping up to run against the RINO swine!
I think you’re right on the money and yes, there are others………. too many others!
I share your opinion. Next in line, start doing everything possible to legally get rid of Thune
I’m a Texan and I approve your post.
Spit. 👊✝️👊🫵
I’m also a Texan, and I approve of both your posts (Harry King). We made sure we voted for Paxton early… No Way we wanted Cornyn to win another “winning on the coattails” of Trump in 2020, which we had to hold our nose and vote for him (Cornyn). I’d write in a vote for Hello Kitty before I’d vote for Cornyn again.
Today, senator cASSady voted with the libtards on the war powers resolution.
It passed in the Senate.
(It will be vetoed)
Just one example of the damage that an outgoing rino can do to our country.
I figured this would be the case. Revenge will only make them look more foolish than they are already but they cooked their own goose. It’s the people who vote, President Trump just gives his take on the candidates. In my state the governor was endorsed by President Trump but I don’t like him and want him OUT. Because his disastrous covid 19 response and his employee hung up on me.
So, we are seeing the Trump curse…once again….
Yes, it is the Trump curse, but it’s also the Curse Of MAGA!
The almost 80 million that voted for President Trump wants to change the direction that our country-Back to MAGA and America First policies.
So a Senator like Cornyn is seen as more aligned with the Establishment UniParty and same ole same ole policies and backroom deals with Democrats.
There are many other Senators and Representatives that fit this as well and I for one hope we can rid ourselves of these political hacks.
Meant to say-change the direction that our country is going-Back to MAGA and America First policies.
sen cornyn is a fine man but a peacetime general. paxton is a wartime general. sane americans are under siege by commies. for me the choice in my state of texas was obvious.
Thank you for your vote!
I myself have been to Texas only once in my life, but I’ve seen what sundance has had to say about Cornwyn for over 10 years.
Fine man? I see no evidence of that, sadly…
Define “fine,” please Bill.
Can’t agree with you, bill. He is not a fine man. Haven’t been able to vote for him in the last 3 election cycles and will not vote for him in the runoff. if he should by some small miracle manage to win the runoff, I will not vote for him in the general election in Nov. THAT’S how bad he is.
Au Contraire, Mi Amigo. I see John Cornyn as a duplicitous POS, and I am glad to see him gone.
Yes!!
He has always delivered for Texas!
MAGA
Uh, no.
The Senate is in full revolt and meltdown now that President Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton. More proof that they do not serve the people that sent them there.
Now to get rid of Thune as leader.
The CTH crew lamented Thune’s ascension and were aware of his tendencies but this is absolute proof his bottom should be kicked to the curb. I wonder if I will ever see a House and a Senate that works for the good of the American people in my lifetime.
I’m sure John Thune is laughing in some back room.
Cassidy, after coming in third in his primary, has once again stabbed the people in the back and just voted with the Dems on limiting President Trump’s war powers.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/senate-advances-wars-powers/
Cassidy showing his true colors. He is a democrat in republican clothing.
Let them cry. They had a chance when they cried a month or two ago over whether President Trump would endorse in Texas. I believe the deal made with the Senate was that he would stay out of it if they passed the SAVE Act.
We see what Thune did with that, and we also see the consequences of his being a RINO.
Not a one of them have any place to whine now.
A bit of history:
Looking back at my CTH notes, I believe this was sundance’s list of worst Senate RINOs in 2021. Where are they now?
TWENTY DeceptiCons:
Blunt GONE in 2023
Burr GONE in 2023
Capito
Cassidy GONE NOW ☺️
Collins
Cornyn HANGING BY A THREAD
Ernst RETIRING 2026
Graham
Grassley
Inhofe DIED 2024
Johnson
Lankford
McConnell RETIRING 2026
Moran
Murkowski
Portman GONE in 2023
Romney RETIRED 2024
Rounds
Thune
Tillis RETIRING 2026
HALF OF THEM GONE next year (assuming Paxton wins).
I hope we get a lot of PDJT targeted endorsements in the 150 days (someone said today it is 150?) to November.
There’s time. All in all, MAGA’s done pretty well.
Was Inhoffe bad ? I had no idea if so. I always thought he was very good due to his pro-energy stance, and he saw right through the GloBull Warming scam from day 1.
I met Inhofe in his offices in OKC back in the early 1990’s about veterans issues. His treatment then was disgusting, but he was still somewhat conservative on many things.
During Clinton’s impeachment, he was loudly crying about how Clinton should not be impeached over whatever he was doing with Lewinski. I believe he may have even voted against removing him.
He was firmly seated on the RINO train ever since.
I pray that what happened to them weighs heavily on Todd Young, IN. He was giving a lot of them a run for their money.
Thought Lankford exited (or will be in Nov). ???
He is now DHS.
No, he is still in the Senate and won’t be up for reelection this year.Too bad.
Makes me puke just to look at his sleazy face.
It’s a long row to hoe, but getting the weeds out takes dedication and determination.
As a gardener who just came in from 2 solid hours of pulling a very annoying weed called “cleavers” or “stickywilly” (because it sticks to everything), I have real life proof of what you just said!
GO, PAXTON, GO!!!
Whenever you saw John Cornyn wearing his cowboy hat and boots, you knew he was up for reelection!
We Texans have been trying to get rid of Cornyn for years and years. But his pal, McConnell, would always fund multiple candidates in the primary, so his sycophant, Cornyn, would win!
Take a walk down memory lane and look at some photos of McConnell at the podium. You’ll almost always see John Thune, John Cornyn, John Barrasso, and the rest of the crew standing next to him!
No doubt, McConnell kept them all in office through “splitting the vote”!
Really off topic, but that’s one of the prettiest ties I have ever seen President Trump wear.
I called both of our TN Senators this afternoon to ask them why they are permitting one man, Thune, to stop the MAGA agenda. I asked if they cared more about him than their constituents. Don’t we need just 27 GOP Senators to oust Thune? W
Hugh Hewitt hardest hit …
… and his tears all day today tasted sweet!
What did Hewitt do?
It’s about time.
I’m thrilled!
Thank goodness!
Ken Paxton has been through a lot and stayed MAGA and PRO Trump.
Happy to see Trump’s endorsement.
Endorsement wasn’t going to matter in that race. Now roll out the “vote for the rhino because he’s the only one that can beat the Democrat” ads….
Way to go! I was all in for Ken Paxton being his pick for Vice-President.
Ken Paxton – Hide and watch cause he is good, very good at his job.
I very satisfied with Vance and we just need to keep on fixing everything that has gone wrong in this country for the last 40 years!
