Senator John Cornyn expressed skepticism about President Donald Trump's potential endorsement in the Texas Senate primary runoff against Ken Paxton, suggesting that Trump may not support any candidate.

Axios, on the other hand, emphasizes the timing of Trump's endorsement as a critical factor, framing it as an "11th-hour" decision that could sway voters.

What's missing from this coverage is a deeper exploration of the implications of Trump's endorsement on the candidates' campaigns and voter sentiment.
