O procurador-geral do Texas, Ken Paxton, derrotou o senador John Cornyn, que estava em seu quarto mandato, no segundo turno das primárias republicanas para o Senado nesta terça-feira. A vitória, impulsionada por um apoio de última hora do presidente Donald Trump, representa uma conquista significativa para a ala MAGA do partido.

Paxton superou a desvantagem que tinha desde as primárias de março para vencer com uma ampla margem. O Decision Desk HQ declarou o resultado da corrida às 20h (horário central), com Paxton liderando por 25 pontos percentuais após a apuração de 57 por cento dos votos. Trump apoiou Paxton uma semana antes do segundo turno, citando posições passadas do senador sobre questões como a obstrução parlamentar (filibuster) e a lei SAVE America Act.

O que as pessoas estão dizendo

As reações iniciais no X celebram a vitória de Paxton, apoiada pelo movimento MAGA, sobre Cornyn como uma conquista para os apoiadores de Trump e uma derrota para o establishment republicano, com alguns expressando preocupação de que isso possa favorecer os democratas.

James Talarico announced a record $27 million fundraising haul for the first quarter of 2026—the largest ever for a Senate candidate in an election year's opening quarter.
