Cornyn slams fellow Texas Republican Paxton over 'baggage'
Original: 'It's hard to outrun all the baggage': Sen. John Cornyn bashes fellow Texas Republican Ken Paxton
Senator John Cornyn publicly criticized Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, saying 'it's hard to outrun all the baggage,' a jab at Paxton's long history of legal and ethical troubles. The remarks highlight a growing Republican primary clash in Texas, where Paxton is challenging Cornyn for his Senate seat, exposing deep divisions within the state's GOP ahead of the 2026 election.
Why now: Paxton is mounting a Republican primary challenge against Cornyn, and the senator is drawing on Paxton's scandals to attack him.
