Le président Donald Trump a apporté mardi son soutien au procureur général du Texas, Ken Paxton, pour l'investiture républicaine dans la course au Sénat américain. Cette décision intervient une semaine avant le second tour du 26 mai face au sénateur sortant John Cornyn.

Trump a publié ce soutien sur Truth Social, qualifiant Paxton de véritable guerrier MAGA qui a toujours répondu présent pour le Texas. Il a ajouté que Cornyn est un homme de bien, mais qu'il ne lui a pas apporté son soutien dans les moments difficiles. Paxton a salué cet appui, affirmant qu'il créerait une dynamique avant le scrutin.

D'autres notent la frustration des républicains du Sénat suite à cette décision, tandis que d'autres publications y voient un message contre le système politique bipartisan et expriment un fort soutien personnel à Paxton, indépendamment de la situation.
