帕克斯顿感谢特朗普，在德克萨斯州共和党初选获胜后瞄准塔拉里科
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道的首次胜选采访中，肯·帕克斯顿感谢特朗普总统的背书，预测科尔宾的支持者“会转变立场”，并驳斥了被对手砸钱超过的担忧：“我还在赢竞选。”
NEW 你现在可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了！
德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿在其不断扩大的参议院共和党支持者阵营中又获得了一份背书：南达科他州联邦参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（共和党籍）。
图恩周三下午在休·休伊特节目中宣布支持帕克斯顿，此时距孤星州这场惨烈的初选落幕还不到一天。而现在的主要对手是德克萨斯州州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科，这位民主党黑马候选人将在11月大选中与帕克斯顿对决。
“德克萨斯州的共和党选民昨晚已经发声，”图恩说道，“肯·帕克斯顿是我们11月大选的候选人，我们必须调整方向，全力以赴确保德克萨斯州保持红色阵营，确保他获胜，确保一名极左翼自由派人士不会进入美国参议院。”

“显然，这个席位对我们的多数党地位至关重要，这将决定这个国家的未来，”他继续说道。
不过，帕克斯顿既不是图恩，也不是大多数参议院共和党人的首选。
在这场为选出德克萨斯州联邦参议院共和党候选人的艰苦鏖战中，大多数参议院共和党人都支持长期在任的参议员约翰·科尔宾（德克萨斯州共和党籍）。当唐纳德·特朗普总统在周二晚间 runoff 选举决赛前一周的最后时刻选择背书帕克斯顿时，许多人都感到震惊。

共和党人曾担心，如果帕克斯顿胜出，可能会让天平倒向民主党一方——而民主党自1988年以来就从未有议员进入过参议院。
但面对轻松击败对手、众议员贾斯敏·克罗克特（德克萨斯州民主党籍）的塔拉里科，共和党人必须将维持参议院共和党多数党地位的优先级置于个人偏好之上。
“作为政党，我们必须尽一切所能确保赢得这场竞选，”图恩说道，“因为，你知道，当涉及到德克萨斯州的局势以及这对我们参议院多数党地位意味着什么时，失败不是一个选项。”
图恩也不是第一位支持帕克斯顿的参议院共和党人。
“开放边境、仇视特朗普的激进分子”：共和党对德克萨斯州民主党人塔拉里科展开早期猛烈抨击
俄亥俄州参议员伯尼·莫雷诺（共和党籍）在选举结果公布后的周二晚间率先表态，敦促共和党团结起来击败塔拉里科，他指责塔拉里科是“支持开放边境、跨性别意识形态，甚至称美国国旗是‘复杂象征’的极左翼怪人”。
“我很自豪能背书帕克斯顿，”莫雷诺在X平台上说道，“选民已经做出了选择，现在共和党必须团结起来，赢得胜利。”

参议院第二号共和党人、参议院多数党党鞭约翰·巴拉索（怀俄明州共和党籍）紧随其后。
“詹姆斯·塔拉里科是一名极左翼极端分子，”巴拉索在X平台上说道，“他是开放边境、非法移民罪犯以及让男性参加女子体育赛事的橡皮图章。塔拉里科对德克萨斯州来说太过激进。”

John Thune goes ‘all in’ for Ken Paxton after bitter primary ripped GOP apart
2026-05-27 4:34pm EDT / Fox News
Thune announced his support on the Hugh Hewitt Show, less than a day after Paxton won the Texas GOP runoff

Paxton thanks Trump, targets Talarico after Texas GOP primary win
In his first post-victory interview with Fox News Digital, Ken Paxton thanked President Trump for his endorsement, predicted Cornyn supporters “will come around,” and dismissed concerns about being outspent: “Here I am still winning races.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton added another endorsement to his growing field of backers in the Senate GOP: Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.
Thune announced his support of Paxton on the Hugh Hewitt show Wednesday afternoon, less than a day after the bloody primary fight in the Lone Star State concluded. And the main target now is Texas state Rep. James Talarico, the insurgent Democratic nominee waiting for Paxton in November.
The voters, Republican voters in Texas spoke last night,” Thune said. “Ken Paxton is our nominee heading into November, and we got to pivot and go all in to make sure that we keep Texas red, that he wins, and that we keep a far-left liberal out of the United States Senate.”

“And obviously, that seat is gonna be very key to our majority, which will determine the future of this country,” he continued.
Paxton was neither Thune nor the majority of Senate Republicans’ first choice, however.
Most of the Senate GOP backed longtime incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, throughout the grueling battle to elect Texas’ Republican nominee for Senate. And many were shocked when President Donald Trump opted to endorse Paxton at the last minute, one week before Tuesday night’s runoff election finale.

Republicans feared that if Paxton came out on top, it could tip the balance in favor of Democrats, who haven’t sent a lawmaker to the upper chamber since 1988.
But facing Talarico, who easily toppled his primary opponent, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, has placed the priority of maintaining the GOP’s majority in the Senate over personal choice for Republicans.
“We’ve gotta do everything we can do as a party, to make sure that we win this race,” Thune said. “Because, you know, losing is not an option when it comes to the state of Texas, and what it means for our majority in the Senate.”
Thune isn’t the first Senate Republican to back Paxton, either.

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, leapt ahead of the crowd Tuesday night shortly after the race was called and urged the GOP to come together to beat Talarico, who he charged was a “far left freak who supports open borders, trans ideology, and even called the American flag a ‘complicated symbol.’”
“I am proud to endorse Paxton,” Moreno said on X. “The voters have spoken, now Republicans must unite and win.”

And the number two Republican in the Senate, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., soon followed.
“James Talarico is a far-left extremist,” Barrasso said on X. “He is a rubber stamp for open borders, illegal immigrant criminals, and men playing in women’s sports. Talarico is too radical for Texas.”
