President Donald Trump gav på tisdagen sitt stöd till Texas justitieminister Ken Paxton i den republikanska nomineringen inför senatsvalet i USA. Beskedet kom en vecka före den andra valomgången den 26 maj mot den sittande senatorn John Cornyn.

Trump publicerade stödet på Truth Social och kallade Paxton en sann MAGA-kämpe som alltid har levererat för Texas. Han tillade att Cornyn är en god man, men att han inte var tillräckligt stöttande under svåra tider. Paxton välkomnade stödet och sade att det skulle skapa momentum inför omröstningen.

Andra noterar frustration bland republikaner i senaten över beslutet, medan ytterligare inlägg ser det som ett budskap mot enpartipolitik och uttrycker starkt personligt stöd för Paxton oavsett.
