(Washington, DC) — President Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are in talks about Senate races.
According to The Hill, the two met and broadly discussed races including Texas Senator John Cornyn’s primary against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton and Cornyn are both Trump allies, however the president has not endorsed either in the primary.
Their meeting comes as polls show Paxton leading Cornyn, and Cornyn’s allies believe a Trump endorsement would help him close the gap with Paxton.
