Trump calls Texas primary results ‘prelude to the midterms’
President Trump stated that he does not care about the midterms during a Cabinet meeting, citing the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff as a prelude to the midterms. Trump's favored candidate, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, won the runoff by more than 30 points after Trump's endorsement.
