Trump Says He Will Endorse in Senate Race and Ask Other Candidate to Drop Out.
President Trump posted an update on Truth Social yesterday stating that he would be endorsing in the Senate race and then asking the candidate he didn’t endorse to drop out of the race.
Social media went wild with the announcement, with many assuming Trump would be endorsing John Cornyn.

Ashley Parker with The Atlantic would later publish an article also stating that Trump would be endorsing Cornyn:
President Trump’s political advisers expect him to endorse Senator John Cornyn in Texas’s May 26 Republican-primary runoff election following the incumbent’s better-than-expected finish against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the first round of voting yesterday, three people briefed on the deliberations told us.
We’ll continue monitoring this situation.
Sid Miller Posting Through the Pain?
On Tuesday, Nate Sheets was able to defeat longtime Agriculture Commissioner, Sid Miller.

- Tony Gonzales.
Gonzales didn’t seem to convey much remorse in his statement nor address the fact that he lied to reporters, specifically Bayliss Wagner, back in November:
