The battle for the soul of the Republican Party in Texas just got a massive boost for the conservative side. Turning Point Action, the political arm of Charlie Kirk's influential Turning Point USA, announced their endorsement of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his Republican Senate primary challenge against establishment incumbent John Cornyn.
This endorsement is nothing short of a political earthquake. Paxton, who has been a fearless defender of conservative principles and Trump's agenda, now has the backing of one of the most effective grassroots organizations in American politics. Meanwhile, Cornyn – long criticized by patriots as a classic RINO who talks tough at home but caves to the swamp in Washington – just got served notice that his days of playing both sides are numbered.
America First vs. Establishment Puppet
The contrast couldn't be clearer. Ken Paxton has spent years fighting the deep state, challenging unconstitutional federal overreach, and standing with President Trump when it mattered most. He's taken on Big Tech censorship, defended election integrity, and secured the border while Washington Republicans like Cornyn were busy making deals with Democrats.
Cornyn, on the other hand, represents everything wrong with the GOP establishment. He's the kind of senator who campaigns as a conservative in Texas but votes with Mitch McConnell and the uniparty when the cameras aren't rolling. Texas deserves better than another two-faced politician who puts the interests of the D.C. swamp ahead of the Lone Star State.
This endorsement brings both serious campaign funding and the organizational muscle of Turning Point's nationwide network. Their ability to mobilize young conservatives and grassroots activists could be the difference-maker in what promises to be a hard-fought primary battle.
The message is clear: the America First movement isn't backing down, and they're coming for every RINO who thinks they can ride the fence while patriots do the heavy lifting. Cornyn's comfortable Senate seat just became a whole lot less comfortable.
Will Texas Republicans choose the proven conservative fighter who's been in the trenches, or stick with the establishment politician who's been part of the problem for far too long?
