华盛顿,3月3日(路透社) – 全国广播公司(NBC)报道,美国共和党参议员现任议员约翰·科宁和州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿在共和党初选中均未获得超过50%的选票,因此将进入决选。
科宁在得克萨斯州三人竞争的参议院初选中领先,而美国众议员韦斯利·亨特排名第三。

科宁和帕克斯顿将于5月26日的决选中对决。

得到参议院共和党领导层支持的科宁的盟友斥资超过6000万美元,以支持现任议员击败帕克斯顿。
共和党初选中的选民往往更为保守,这对帕克斯顿有利,可能有助于他在决选中击败科宁。然而,科宁辩称,帕克斯顿的丑闻历史使其在11月面临民主党候选人时容易被击败,并可能导致共和党失去一个安全的参议院席位。
特朗普在2024年以近14个百分点的优势赢得得克萨斯州,但未支持任何候选人。目前尚不清楚他是否会在决选前支持某位候选人。

WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) – Republican incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton were headed to a runoff election after neither was projected to win more than 50% of the vote in the Republican primary, NBC reported.
Cornyn was leading the field in Texas’ three-way Senate primary, with U.S. Representative Wesley Hunt trailing in third place.

Cornyn and Paxton will now face each other in a May 26 runoff.

Allies of Cornyn, who is backed by Senate Republican leadership, spent more than $60 million to boost the incumbent over Paxton.
Primary Republican voters tend to be more conservative, which benefits Paxton, helping him to potentially defeat Cornyn in the runoff. Cornyn has argued, however, that Paxton’s history of scandals makes him vulnerable against a Democratic candidate in November and could cost Republicans a safe Senate seat.
Trump won Texas by nearly 14 percentage points in 2024 but declined to endorse any candidate. It’s unclear whether he will endorse someone before the runoff.
