Trump said that around 1 p.m., he would reveal who he is backing in the Texas Senate race, which features a highly competitive primary runoff between Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and state Attorney General Ken Paxton.
“Actually, I’m going to be making an endorsement today in Texas,” the president said. “I’m going to be putting out an endorsement in a little while in Texas, the great state — you know, I won Texas all six times, meaning primaries and the race, and I got the highest vote in the history of Texas — and I love Texas, but I’m going to be making an endorsement at about 12:30, 1 today for the big race, the Senate race in Texas, and I hope you find it good.”
