Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) threw his support behind Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday, bringing Senate leadership one step closer to coalescing around a Republican they spent months trying to defeat.
Thune endorsed Paxton on the heels of his victory against Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), telling conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that Cornyn had been a “great partner” in the Senate but that Republicans need to “pivot” if they hope to win Texas in November.
