Ken Paxton Just Annihilated John Cornyn in Texas GOP Senate Runoff Election

It’s official. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is the Republican nominee for Senate after defeating incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in Tuesday’s runoff election.

The runoff kicked off after no Republican candidate managed to win over 50 percent of the vote in March’s election.

Both campaigns spent the final full day before the runoff flooding the airwaves with their appeals to voters instead of holding public events, according to The Associated Press.

The race appeared to have been decided on May 19 after President Donald Trump endorsed the attorney general, giving him a late boost before the runoff. Up to that point, the president had given no indication as to which candidate he might support. But in a post on Truth Social, Trump explained that Cornyn had been slow to sign on to the president’s agenda, which cost him the endorsement.

Paxton and Cornyn have been going scorched earth on each other since the runoff campaign began. Cornyn and his allies outspent his opponent as each lobbed attacks at each other. Some Republicans expressed concerns that the battle might cause further division on the right.

Interesting graph on the odds of Rep vs Dem in the Texas senate election, it's gone from a R landslide over D to a very close race with Talarico gaining support.

That is probably taking into consideration he'll win every single large city by a large margin as Houston, Austin, Dallas are all deep Blue into the suburbs.

Still shows R with an edge 54 - 48 but look how close its been predicted on Polymarket.

^^^^^^^^^

The total population of Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, blue cities in Texas, is approx. 7 million, Dems make up approx. 65% of this total. Texas has a population of over 31 million, most of it in rural areas.

Far worse and nuttier than Beto O'Rourke, this commie freak will not beat Paxton.

As for me, I vote as if gun rights are the ONLY thing that matters in national elections. Trump’s endorsement isn’t enough to overcome a candidate’s views towards gun rights if there’s any dispute as far as I’m concerned. That’s why if I was represented by Lauren Boebert for example, she would have my vote no matter whether she has Trump’s endorsement or not. She has been firmly in the “not one inch” against gun rights camp and that’s really all that matters to me, even if one has occasional disagreements with Trump.

"Gun Owners of America Endorses Rep. Boebert’s Bill to Eliminate Tax on Automatic Weapons

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 20, 2026

Washington, D.C. – Gun Owners of America (GOA) is proud to endorse Representative Lauren Boebert’s bill introduced today on the week of the 40th anniversary of the Hughes Amendment becoming law. The Freedom from Taxes Act of 2026 would reduce the $200 NFA tax on machine guns (and destructive devices) to $0.

For the last 92 years, law-abiding Americans have had their Second Amendment rights infringed through a draconian and unconstitutional $200 “sin” tax on the transfer of each machine gun. Representative Boebert’s bill would finish what Congress started in the One Big Beautiful Bill last year: reducing National Firearms Act excise taxes.

Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, issued the following statement:

“From its inception, GOA opposed the Hughes Amendment when it was signed into law. Forty years later, GOA still opposes any infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. That’s why Gun Owners of America is proud to endorse Representative Boebert’s bill that would reduce the $200 NFA tax on machine guns. Under this GOA-backed legislation, the right to own a machine gun without paying a ‘sin’ tax would be fully restored—just like the Founding Fathers intended.”

Representative Lauren Boebert, of Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, issued the following statement:

“Taxing our constitutional rights is unacceptable and unconstitutional. The Freedom from Taxes Act builds on the progress we made in the One Big Beautiful Bill by completely eliminating the final NFA taxes on machine guns and destructive devices. My bill also eliminates the burdensome Special Occupational Tax that’s been crushing our small businesses and manufacturers. The government should not be imposing penalties on law-abiding citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights.”

GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization representing over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
