Trump asks Texas Senate candidate he does not endorse to drop out of race
The Hill ^ | 03/04/26 | Julia Manchester

Posted on 03/04/2026 6:02:57 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

President Trump said the Texas Republican Senate candidate that does not get his endorsement should drop out of the race, announcing on Wednesday that he will throw his weight behind the race “soon.”

In a lengthy TruthSocial post, Trump argued that the GOP primary race in the Lone Star State “cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer.”

“IT MUST STOP NOW! We have an easy to beat, Radical Left Opponent, and we have to TOTALLY FOCUS on putting him away, quickly and decisively! Both John [Cornyn] and Ken [Paxton] ran great races, but not good enough. Now, this one, must be PERFECT!” he continued.

“My Endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable! It is such an honor to realize and say that almost everyone I Endorse WINS, and wins by a lot, especially in Texas! I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I don’t Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE! Is that fair? We must win in November!!!” he said.

The party’s Senate primary went to a runoff on Tuesday after neither Attorney General Ken Paxton or Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) were able to win a majority of the electorate. A run off election is scheduled for late May.

According to the latest results on Monday, Cornyn led Paxton 41.9 percent to 40.7 percent.

If he endorses Cornyn he better get the save act passed. Otherwise Trump is going back to term 1 stupid crap.

Susie Wiles will pick Cornyne with a promise to pass the save act. Once endorsed... They will not pass the save act.

Trump would be well advised to eschew CornHole.

Time will tell.

The problem is that Trump may listen to Susie Wiles instead of Stephen Miller.

I’m sure he asked nicely the first time, but if he has to ask a 2nd or 3rd time then the guy would really be pushing his luck.

Sorry, Mr. President. I love ya, but if you endorse Cornhole, you’re going to piss off a lot of Texans, myself included.

ALL IN FOR PAXTON

Trump will lose some support if he backs the Rino incumbent.

Part of me wonders if Trump did this to convince Cornyn to drop out. It has been several hours, but the last time I looked, Trump’s post on Truth Social had over 4000 replies, and I did not see a single one that supported Cornyn. Maybe his intent is to show Cornyn that he might divide the base.
