  • Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton is giving credit to President Trump for Tuesday's runoff election victory.

  • "President Trump is the leader of our party,

  • and his endorsement is the most powerful force in politics. And I'm honored to have his support,

  • and I look forward to working with him in the Senate

  • to deliver for Texas." Paxton is currently the Texas State Attorney General.

  • He won President Trump's endorsement last week, despite multiple scandals,

  • including whistleblower allegations and an impeachment by the Texas House.

  • He was acquitted by the state Senate.

  • Paxton ousted four-term Senator John Cornyn in the most expensive primary in U.S.

  • Senate history.

  • Cornyn gave his concession speech not long after polls closed Tuesday night.

  • He did not mention his opponent directly,

  • but the Texas Newsroom's Blaise Ganey says he did mention his overall support for the party.

  • Cornyn has been Texas Senator since 2002. Before that, he was Texas Attorney General.

  • Tuesday, his political career came to an end early in the night as polls opened

  • with him trailing Attorney General Ken Paxton by a sizable amount.
