Trump's Favorite Pollster Warns of MAGA Texas Massacre [View all]

CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten warned that Republicans could face a brutal beating in the Texas Senate race after Donald Trump endorsed Ken Paxton.

The president backed the baggage-laden super MAGA state attorney general against incumbent GOP Sen. John Cornyn one week before the primary runoff.

But the move puts Trump in direct odds with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who is sticking with Cornyn. The GOP Senate campaign arm has been warning that having Paxton as the nominee puts Republicans in a tougher spot come November.

Enten pointed out in a race against Paxton, the Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is polling better than any Democrat has in the Texas Senate race in decades, heading into the general election.
