This is a rather unusual approach for President Trump to take.  President Trump draws attention to the Texas Republican senate race between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton, which will now turn to a run-off election.

As noted in his Truth Social post, President Trump will be endorsing one of the two candidates and subsequently asks the non-endorsed candidate to exit the race.

[Via Truth Social] – “The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas, a State I LOVE and won 3 times in Record Numbers (the HIGHEST vote ever recorded, by far!!!), 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 and Ken ran great races, but not good enough. Now, this one, must be PERFECT!

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!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

President DONALD J. TRUMP

I hope President Trump doesn’t endorse John Cornyn! 😬
