President Donald Trump has endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, supercharging his effort to oust incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in a Republican primary runoff.

The president had long considered backing Senator John Cornyn, but Ken Paxton, the state attorney general, carried the support of the MAGA base.

Paxton and Cornyn are locked in a bitter Texas Senate runoff that will decide which Republican faces Democrat James Talarico in November.
