President Donald Trump's candidate pick, Ken Paxton, has come out on top, defeating four-term Senator John Cornyn in the Texas GOP primary.

Paxton faces Democrat James Talarico in the general election.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has defeated four-term Sen. John Cornyn in a massively expensive, drawn-out U.S. Senate primary race.

Cornyn led the March primary with 42% of the vote, narrowly ahead of Paxton’s 40.5%, sending both to a runoff.
