From The Hill: Texas Sen. John Cornyn (R) is significantly trailing state Attorney General Ken Paxton in an internal GOP primary poll conducted by a super PAC supporting the incumbent, pointing to a potentially challenging reelection bid.
The longtime senior senator is behind Paxton in the poll by 16 points, 56 percent to 40 percent, Punchbowl News reported Monday. If Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), who is considering his own run, joins the field, then Paxton leads 44 percent to Cornyn’s 34 percent and Hunt’s 19 percent.
The poll was commissioned by the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), which works to protect incumbent Republican senators and grow the GOP’s numbers in the chamber.
Cornyn appears to be facing his biggest challenge in a Senate primary yet with the run from Paxton, as other early internal polls have shown him behind. But this one is notable, coming from a group backing Cornyn.
Journalist Laura Loomer ripped into Cornyn, sharing a video and writing, “While John Cornyn @TeamCornyn is out courting the Muslim vote and speaking Arabic with a Texas twang, Ken Paxton @KenPaxtonTX is winning lawsuits against Google to protect Texans’ privacy. This is who President Trump needs in DC. We don’t need another Islamic sympathizer and Trump hater in DC pandering to the Muslim Brotherhood like Cornyn does. It’s nauseating. “Inshallah”? Are you for real?””
