密苏里州共和党众议员埃里克·伯尔利森正在支持德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿竞选美国参议院席位。
帕克斯顿将在孤星之州的共和党参议院初选决选中对阵现任参议员约翰·科恩（R-Texas）。
“肯·帕克斯顿是一位经验证的保守派斗士，他将成为华盛顿德州人民的捍卫者，”伯尔利森（众议院自由党团成员）在福克斯新闻数字版获得的声明中表示。
科恩、帕克斯顿准备在残酷初选活动的第二阶段正面交锋

“在拜登政府期间，肯领导了全国性的法律行动，阻止了拜登边境危机并挫败了极左议程。他为德克萨斯州人民的权利对抗觉醒的企业和奥斯汀政治机构而战。在参议院中，他将继续成为一位无所畏惧的保守派，永远不会退缩。这就是为什么我自豪地全心全意支持他的竞选活动，”伯尔利森补充道。
科恩和帕克斯顿在初选中均为得票最高者，但无人获得多数票，因此两人将在今年晚些时候的决选中正面交锋。
唐纳德·特朗普总统表示他计划支持两人中的一人，但尚未做出选择。特朗普去年曾特别支持伯尔利森连任，称其为”MAGA运动的勇士”。

“在伟大的得克萨斯州，美国参议院共和党初选竞赛，一个我热爱的州，并且我以创纪录的票数赢得了3次（到目前为止，是有史以来最高的投票数！！！），为了党的利益和我们国家本身，不能再继续下去了。它必须现在就停止！我们有一个容易击败的激进左翼对手，我们必须完全专注于迅速而果断地击败他！”特朗普在Truth Social帖子中宣称。
“约翰和肯都进行了出色的竞选，但还不够好。现在，这场竞选必须做到完美！我在共和党内部的支持几乎是不可战胜的！我很荣幸地说，几乎我支持的每个人都赢了，而且赢了很多，尤其是在得克萨斯州！我很快就会做出我的支持决定，并会要求我不支持的候选人立即退出竞选！这公平吗？我们必须在11月获胜！！！感谢你们关注这件事，”总统在帖子中补充道。
“正确的事情”：帕克斯顿、科恩在得克萨斯州初选中针锋相对但为特朗普的伊朗打击行动团结
德克萨斯州州议员詹姆斯·塔拉利科击败了美国众议员贾斯敏·克罗克特，赢得了德克萨斯州民主党参议院初选。

Trump ally endorses Paxton over Cornyn as GOP Senate primary heads to high-stakes Texas runoff
Rep Eric Burlison said in a statement that he is ‘proud to wholeheartedly endorse’ Ken Paxton’s Senate campaign

Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., is endorsing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate.
Paxton is facing off against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, in the Lone Star State’s GOP U.S. Senate primary runoff.
“Ken Paxton is a proven conservative fighter who will be a champion for the people of Texas in Washington,” Burlison, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

“During the Biden Administration, Ken led the national legal charge to stop the Biden Border Crisis and stop the far-left agenda. He’s fought for Texans’ rights against woke corporations and the Austin political establishment. In the Senate, he will continue to be a fearless conservative who will never back down. That’s why I’m proud to wholeheartedly endorse his campaign,” Burlison added.
While Cornyn and Paxton were the top finishers in the primary, no candidate won a majority, so the two men will go head-to-head in a runoff primary election later this year.
President Donald Trump indicated that he plans to endorse one of the two men but has held off on choosing. Trump notably endorsed Burlison for reelection last year, describing him as a “warrior” for the MAGA movement.

“The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas, a State I LOVE and won 3 times in Record Numbers (the HIGHEST vote ever recorded, by far!!!), cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer. IT MUST STOP NOW! We have an easy to beat, Radical Left Opponent, and we have to TOTALLY FOCUS on putting him away, quickly and decisively!” Trump declared in the Truth Social post.
“Both John and Ken ran great races, but not good enough. Now, this one, must be PERFECT! My Endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable! It is such an honor to realize and say that almost everyone I Endorse WINS, and wins by a lot, especially in Texas! I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I don’t Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE! Is that fair? We must win in November!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” the president added in the post.
