Paxton’s GOP primary opponent, Sen. John Cornyn, has yet to release his fundraising numbers but is starting with a deeper campaign war chest.

The wife of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) filed for divorce Thursday, a move likely to reverberate in his campaign to unseat Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), one of the most closely watched Senate primaries in the country.

Sen. John Cornyn flew aboard Air Force One with Trump to Kerrville, Texas, while Attorney General Ken Paxton attended the event to honor flood victims.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's lead over Sen. John Cornyn to be the Republican candidate for Senate dropped following Paxton's alleged affair-driven divorce.
