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

why are duhminion voting machines still used in texas, mr. paxton?
Maybe ask the Sec of State … Elections fall under Jane Nelson.
They aren’t here in north texas
They’re not.
duhminion is a state-certified vendor in texas with a long history of use.
es&s and hart intercivic are prevalent.
truth and clarity are paramount
if you can provide facts showing the above statements are untrue, i will acknowledge and apologize for my error and notify the moderators to remove my post.
Oops
I thought the president’s statement made no mention of Paxton’s opponents, but rereading showed me it did. Still, there’s clearly no comparison between the two contenders.
But Karl rove is for Cornyn. 🙂
Well, I used to think Karl Rove was on the good side….. before Trump…..
Yep. A vast change in our knowledge of the deep state from 2004.
Same for me with the Bush Clan as well as John Cornyn…before Trump…early voted for Ken Paxton yesterday.
I wonder how many favors and chips they had to use to claw back that massive short placed in Austin after the bullet missed in Butler?
Hannitus Interruptus calls Rove “The Architect.” They are great chums.
That whole UniParty thing is kind of incestuous, isn’t it.
Worse than a Somali neighborhood in Minnesota.
Ehh, not quite that far, but your point still stands.
I’ve known John Cornyn for 50+ years. My wife even clerked for him when he was a Texas Supreme Court Justice. I’m very much looking forward to voting for Paxton and sending Cornyn into permanent retirement. There’s no telling how much $ he has squirreled away in off-shore accounts from the substituents he’s actually been representing in Texas instead of Texans.
Yes!!!!! Cornyn is “conservative” only when he runs for relection. Hopefully another RINO goes down.
<Hopefully another RINO goes down.>
Cornyn –> Cornout 🙂
As so many are…even some Demoncrats.
Then….😡
I think that is one of the longest endorsements I have seen President Trump give in a long time.😀
The McConnell/Thune RINO consortium is getting their keister kicked lately.
Too bad they didn’t spend all those wasted RINO millions on the closer southern House races.
I love the smell of keister kicking in the morning!
The amount of money spent for Cornyn by the RINO Establishment ($150M) is the tell and all anyone needs to know.
And they will still lose and then blame it on everything but themselves.
PRIMARIED WARNING
DEATH KNELL issued for Cornyn
John Cornyn, Amnesty Man, Gun Grabber Man, Supporter of Islam.
No…
NO!!!!

Cool.
Ken Paxton earned President Trump’s endorsement long before he got it…but I understand that Trump, the pragmatist, wanted to be sure Paxton would win before giving an endorsement that would make an even worse enemy of John Cornyn than he already is.
This is the right choice and every MAGA believer has known it ever since Cornyn called Texas gun owners “a mob!”
Not to mention John Boy called Trump’s language on January 6 “reckless!”
I think the delay was more about giving Thune the chance to get a few things done.
Thune betrayed Trump. So Trump has decided no % in still appeasing the RINOs.
Was there really ever any doubt? No.
Thank you so much, President Trump! Ken Paxton come to Democrat ElPaso during the Covid and went through several El Paso courts until he got out of the county to free us from nightly lock down. I will not forget what he did.
How about coming out with an endorsement for Mayes Middleton over Chip Roy?
And now Senator Cassidy from LA is throwing a tantrum because he lost; he won’t support anything, Trump, starting with funding of the ballroom security features. What a child.
Word is, Massie is being destroyed at the polls (we shall see when it’s all said and done).
All Thune, Massie, Cassidy, and Cornyn (among others) had to do was support the people who voted for Trump and his agenda. They chose to support Democrats because, well, they are Democrats too. They FAFO’d.
Indian, LA, today Kentucky, and soon Texas, and many more. We the people are taking our government back.
Bravo! I have nothing but utter contempt for that jackass Cornyn. After voting for gun control a couple years ago he was getting lambasted at a Texas town hall and his response was “I don’t listen to the mob!” Well, he got the Pete Stark(CA) treatment for sure!
Took him long enough.
It’s rare that I disagree with President Trump, but calling Cornyn a “good man?” Not so fast, my friend.
God bless President Trump and God bless Ken Paxton.
I think Trump was hedging his bets just in case Cornyn somehow pulls off a win. And trashing Cornyn might backfire with some GOP TX voters.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/05/18/tillis-urges-senate-cancel-ice-border-patrol-vote-boost-cornyn-reelection-bid/
Thom Tillis has been urging Thune to delay the budget reconciliation vote this week so Cornyn could go back to Texas and campaign.
Your move, Thune.
Already voted early here yesterday…Paxton, Middleton for AG, Bo for RR Commission, and my local justice that was in a run off. Need to get these fake RINO’s that are democrats who claim to be R’s here in TX and then they all vote for Dems and their policies. Things are jacked up in here in TX.
EXCELLENT!!! 🎉
Now if we can just keep Chip Roy from becoming Attorney General!🙏🏼
MAGA / America First
PDJT has a pretty good record of his endorsements winning. Ken Paxton is proactive and with all the leftist hate on him, I think it’s a good choice.
Here in MN our primary is August. We have Senate seat and governorship up for grabs.
Royce White(R), former NBA player and Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in 2024 (Declared) -MAGA
Adam Schwarze(R), former Navy SEAL (Declared)-MAGA maybe
Michele Tafoya (R), reporter and sports broadcaster (Delcared)-Establishment RINO
For governor Mike Lindell has a good primary chance against establishment RINO Kendall Qualls who had Michelle Tafoya directing his previous loss trying for the Guber spot. I would say the lefties and establishment will go all out to stop Lindell, which makes a Trump endorsement likely.
Candidates should get a lot of attention given the incessant fraud up here. And watch for our Leftist Lt gov Peggy Flanagan to portray herself more left and more stupid than Kamala. Should be a lot of fireworks up here this summer.
