In case you missed it, an “outpouring of upset MAGA names” are “melting down” over the possibility that Trump might choose sides in the Texas primary – calling it “one of [Trump’s] biggest mistakes” that “could actually be the real reason Texas Senate seat flips blue.” The overwhelming GOP base pushback to the “total scumbag move” by Trump promises to further fracture the Republican base.

The “brass-knuckled, dregs-scraping, cash-consuming GOP runoff” doesn’t seem likely to stop any time soon, with Ken Paxton vowing that he is “staying in this race” no matter who Trump endorses.

GOP candidates and outside groups have already spent $100 million in the heated race,according to tracking by Ad Impact. - Far-right influencer Laura Loomer made her choice for the GOP nominee clear in a post on X on Wednesday. “JUST IN: President Trump says he will soon endorse in the Texas Senate GOP race, & whoever he doesn’t endorse must drop out,” Loomer, 32, wrote. “Hopefully he endorses @KenPaxtonTX, because @JohnCornyn has a long record of being anti-Trump […]” - Sara Gonzales, a host on the right-wing media network Blaze TV, also pleaded for the president to reconsider his rumored pick. “Mr. President @realDonaldTrump,” Gonzales wrote in a post on X. “I am one of your biggest supporters and I am urging you as someone who is in the Texas grassroots: do NOT endorse Cornyn. It will be one of your biggest mistakes.” “The majority of Texas voters voted AGAINST Cornyn last night,” she added. “We don’t want him!” Conservative radio host Jesse Kelly called Cornyn, who has held his Texas Senate seat since 2002, a “swamp rat,”and said if Trump endorses him, it would bea “total scumbag move.”- Republican political commentator Sarah Fields said that “most of Trump’s endorsements in Texas races have sucked,”and urged the president to endorse Paxton.
