The Texas GOP took a hard swing to the right in Tuesday’s primary. It could give Democrats like James Talarico an opening in November.

Ken Paxton’s Trump-backed purge of John Cornyn is just the tip of the iceberg of Lone Star Republican craziness.

Paxton faces Democrat James Talarico in the general election.

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

Paxton defeated Cornyn with more than 60% of the vote, delivering a major upset against the Senate GOP's long-serving member.
