President Donald Trump says he's “pretty much” made his decision on whom to endorse in Texas’ heated Republican Senate primary, but he still refuses to name his pick publicly. On Friday in Corpus Christi, Texas, he praised the three — Ken Paxton, John Cornyn and Wesley Hunt — in the same speech. He also repeated his main campaign themes on the economy, energy, and security. Democrats have responded by arguing that costs keep rising for Texas families. The GOP primary, set for March 3, has turned personal, as party leaders push Trump to back Cornyn. Paxton faces lingering controversy, while Hunt sells himself as a loyal Trump ally.
