John Cornyn Throws In the Towel On Coveted Trump Primary Nod

Key Points:
- President Donald Trump has withheld endorsements for Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, despite endorsing over 30 other political candidates.
- Sen. Cornyn expressed doubt about receiving Trump's endorsement, stating, "I think that ship has finally sailed," though he would welcome a campaign visit from Trump if he wins the primary.
- Trump has indicated he will endorse one candidate soon and expects the other to drop out, a demand Paxton has refused, complicating Trump's decision.
- Cornyn believes Trump's hesitation stems from his friendship with both candidates and a desire not to disappoint their supporters.
- Early voting began Monday with the primary election set for May 26, and experts suggest Trump could still endorse either candidate up to election day.
