Attorney General Ken Paxton suggested he could launch a campaign against Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) within the next couple of months.

As Paxton and Cornyn’s terms come to an end in 2026, the Texas attorney general is leaving the door open to primary the senator to represent a rift within the Republican Party. Paxton was in Phoenix, Arizona, Saturday night at Turning Point USA’s America Fest event, where an attendee asked him when he would challenge Cornyn, which prompted applause.
