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.
