The National Republican Senatorial Committee is pushing donors to rally behind Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), arguing in an internal memo that Attorney General Ken Paxton is losing his polling advantage in Texas’s high-stakes Senate primary.

The Aug. 15 memo, obtained by the Washington Examiner and reported by Politico, declared that Cornyn “will win Texas” and that the campaign to ensure that outcome “is already in motion and delivering results.” It pointed to a six-week super PAC advertising blitz highlighting Cornyn’s conservative record and alignment with President Donald Trump.
