10:46Now PlayingGOP leaders in Washington are ramping up pressure on Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt to drop out of the Texas Senate race, warning that his candidacy could cost their party tens of millions of dollars and even upend their midterm map. But a defiant Hunt told CNN's Manu Raju in an exclusive interview that he is “absolutely” staying in the heated three-way race against long-time incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and firebrand Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, even as senior Republicans accuse him of being a “spoiler” in the race that is now all but certain to lead to a costly runoff.
Manu Raju discusses with his "Inside Politics" panel: Anna Palmer of Punchbowl News, CNN Washington bureau chief and political director David Chalian and AP White House reporter Seung Min Kim. #CNN #News
