Ugly Texas primary threatens GOP efforts to defend Senate
(The Hill) Republicans are increasingly concerned that a bitter Senate primary in Texas next year could make it harder to defend their majority in the upper chamber.
Earlier this week, the Senate Leadership Fund rolled out a poll showing Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) trailing Attorney General Ken Paxton by 16 points. But in a hypothetical general election poll, Paxton loses by 1 point to former Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), who is considering a run.
Cornyn and his allies argue that if Paxton wins the GOP nomination, Republicans will be forced to allocate more resources as the party seeks to defend and expand its majority in the Senate.
