WATCH: Ken Paxton holds campaign rally in Katy, TX

With less than a week until his runoff race Republican Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton held a campaign rally in Katy, TX on Wednesday.

Paxton used the rally to take shots at Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico.

Meanwhile, Paxton coming off an endorsement from President Trump. Earlier in the week, Trump backed Paxton in the race, praising him as a loyal warrior for the MAGA movement.

He thinks I’m the best candidate and that I will actually help him get some of these things done,” Paxton said, referring to Trump’s legislative priorities and the SAVE Act.

Paxton said Trump called him Tuesday morning before publicly announcing the endorsement.

“He just said, ‘I think you’re going to like what I’m doing today,’” Paxton said.

Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) responded to Trump’s endorsement on social media, warning Republicans that Paxton could jeopardize the GOP’s hold on the Texas Senate seat.

The winner of the Republican runoff will face Democratic state Rep. James Talarico in November.
