Trump Misses Texas Senate Runoff Deadline

0:00On March 18, President Donald Trump missed a key deadline on Tuesday, without picking a side in Texas' Republican Senate runoff between Senator John, Cornyn, and Attorney General Ken Paxton, locking both names onto the May 26 ballot. Neither men withdrew by the 5 p.m., Central Cutoff, so the Heated Contest moves forward after no-one won a majority in the March 3rd primary. Campaigns ramped up attacks right away, with Cornyn airing a new ad questioning Paxton's personal life, while Paxton pushes himself as the top choice. For Trump supporters and runs as near Mar-a-Lago to grab the president's eye, the delay keeps the race linked to the Save America Act, now up-percented debate, which would demand proof of citizenship to register in photo ID too. Vote in federal elections. Trump's choice could sway the smaller, more conservative runoff crowd that might favor Paxton, and even if one bows out later, both stay on the ballot. In this test, the party loyalty.
