Overview

  • The PAC backing Ken Paxton, Preserving Texas, launched its first ad targeting incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, airing exclusively in Palm Beach, Florida.
  • The ad criticizes Cornyn's support for a 2022 bipartisan gun safety bill and highlights Trump calling Cornyn a 'RINO' while praising Trump's judgment.
  • The $60,000 ad buy spans two days on Trump-favored networks like Fox News, Newsmax, and the Golf Channel, aiming to influence Trump directly.
  • Cornyn has recently taken steps to align with Trump's MAGA movement, including posting an image of himself reading Trump's 'The Art of the Deal.'
  • Trump remains undecided, stating he likes both candidates and plans to make an endorsement decision later in the 2026 Texas Senate race.
