4:19Now PlayingTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated longtime US Sen. John Cornyn in Texas’ heated Republican Senate runoff Tuesday, riding a late endorsement from President Donald Trump to a massive victory. Paxton’s win forces Cornyn into retirement after four terms in the Senate and sets up a high-profile November showdown against Democratic state Rep. James Talarico in what could become one of the most expensive Senate races in US history.
