El fiscal general de Texas, Ken Paxton, derrotó el martes al senador por cuatro mandatos John Cornyn en la segunda vuelta de las primarias republicanas al Senado. La victoria, respaldada por un respaldo tardío del presidente Donald Trump, representa un triunfo significativo para la facción MAGA del partido.

Paxton superó una desventaja inicial de las primarias de marzo para ganar por un amplio margen. Decision Desk HQ dio por cerrada la contienda a las 8 p.m., hora central, con Paxton liderando por 25 puntos tras el conteo del 57 por ciento de los votos. Trump respaldó a Paxton una semana antes de la segunda vuelta, citando las posiciones anteriores del senador en temas como el filibusterismo y la Ley SAVE America.

Qué dice la gente

Las reacciones iniciales en X celebran la victoria de Paxton, respaldada por el movimiento MAGA, sobre Cornyn como un triunfo para los seguidores de Trump y una derrota para el establishment republicano, mientras algunos expresan preocupación de que esto pueda favorecer a los demócratas.
