Summary

Trump's Support Dilemma

U.S. President Donald Trump hesitates to endorse Texas Sen. John Cornyn in the primary.
Cornyn faces challenges from Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt.
Cornyn's unpopularity stems from dismissing Trump's 2024 campaign and backing stricter gun laws after Uvalde.
Senate leaders urge Trump to back Cornyn to avoid a costly race if Paxton, who has faced impeachment, becomes the nominee.
