Fresh off of endorsing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the MAGA favorite, to replace incumbent RINO Senator John Cornyn in the Texas GOP Senate runoff election, Trump is already taking aim at the Democratic Nominee in the race and shrugging off Senate leadership.
Neither candidate received 50% of the vote in the March Primary, leading to a runoff election next Tuesday.
While departing Washington, DC, to deliver remarks at the US Coast Guard Academy on Wednesday, Trump boasted about his endorsed candidates’ wins in yesterday’s primary elections across six states before highlighting his latest endorsement of Paxton for the Senate.
“I think he’ll win” next Tuesday, Trump said, adding that Paxton will “go on to defeat a very defective candidate.”
Paxton, the likely Republican nominee, will face Democrat James Talarico in the November general election. Trump slammed Talarico as “a candidate that believes in six genders, and he takes hits at Jesus Christ, and he’s wearing a mask six months ago.” Trump continued, “Anybody wearing a mask six months ago doesn’t get it, and he’s a vegan! He’s a vegan in Texas, and you can’t get elected as a vegan in Texas.”
The President also told Senate Republicans to pound sand if they’re upset that he endorsed Paxton against Cornyn, the incumbent Senator.
“They’ll be all right with it,” Trump said. “They want to win. I know how to win. Some of them don’t know how to win.”
WATCH:
Trump: We won all races last night, every one of them. And we have a great candidate, I believe, in Texas, and I believe the Texas candidate, who is Ken Paxton, I think he’ll win. I think probably he’ll win very substantially, and I think he’ll go on to defeat a very defective candidate, a candidate that believes in six genders, and he takes hits at Jesus Christ, and he’s wearing a mask six months ago. Anybody wearing a mask six months ago doesn’t get it, and he’s a vegan! He’s a vegan in Texas, and you can’t get elected as a vegan in Texas.
Reporter: Did you talk to Senate leadership on the Republican side about endorsing against an incumbent?
Trump: I did. I did. They’ll be all right with it. They want to win. I know how to win. Some of them don’t know how to win. I know how to win. I think I’ve proven that, haven’t I?
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump endorsed Paxton on Tuesday after months of remaining neutral in the contest.
Trump said Cornyn is a “good man,” but noted that Cornyn was not supportive of him when times were tough. He described Paxton as “an America First Patriot, and someone who has always been extremely loyal to me and our AMAZING MAGA MOVEMENT.”
Trump previously said he would ask the candidate that he doesn’t endorse to drop out of the race. However, Cornyn has bucked Trump by signaling that he will stay in the race.
