Today, Texas voters are choosing party nominees in runoff elections for several key statewide, congressional and local races for contests where no candidate won a majority in the March primary.

This runoff puts incumbent Senator John Cornyn against challenger AG Ken Paxton for the Texas Senate Republican race.  President Trump has endorsed the challenger against Cornyn, and the old guard in the Senate are furious.

UPDATE:  The results are not yet finalized, but it’s not even remotely close.  Senator John Cornyn has lost his seat.  Texas AG Ken Paxton has crushed Cornyn in a massive victory.
