Paxton announced Wednesday he has filed the necessary paperwork to enter the 2026 race. The Republican first declared his intentions to run earlier this year.

Critics accuse Cornyn of capitulating to Democrats' gun control demands — even though the bill largely did not restrict gun owner's existing rights.

Texas’ senior senator outraised his foes across his campaign operation, though some of the money is ineligible to be transferred to his main account.

The latest survey from the University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs shows Houston-area Congressman Wesley Hunt in third place behind Cornyn and Paxton. It also shows Dallas-area Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who has not declared she’s a candidate, leading the Democratic primary field.

The U.S. Department of Justice opened an investigation of Muslim development EPIC City after Senator John Cornyn sent a letter to the Attorney General.

The GOP primary election for U.S. Senate is already shaping up to be a slugfest between incumbent John Cornyn and his challenger, outgoing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Who will President Donald Trump decide to back?
