Ken Paxton wins the Texas Republican Senate runoff with nearly 62.5% of the vote, defeating longtime incumbent John Cornyn who held one of the most powerful seats in the United States Senate. Hawk breaks down what that margin means for Republican control in Washington.
Trump has now ousted Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Thomas Massie from his own party, three of the most influential Republicans in Congress. Cassidy, a licensed physician, cast the deciding vote to confirm RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services after spending five years trying to reverse his impeachment conviction vote. Cornyn spent that same time abandoning decades of political identity trying to stay in Trump's good graces. Neither survived.
With Republicans holding a razor-thin majority in both chambers, the lame-duck period ahead looks treacherous for Trump's agenda. Thomas Massie has publicly vowed to start naming names from the Epstein files. Democratic Senate candidate James Casar is already leading Paxton in early polling, making a Texas Senate flip a genuine possibility in November.
