President Donald Trump is heading to Texas, his first trip after his State of the Union address. The Republican president plans to talk Friday about his energy and economic policies. But the red-hot Senate Republican primary race may overshadow Trump's message. The vote happens on Tuesday, and all three candidates in the competitive race plan to be at Trump's event. Sen. John Cornyn is fighting for a fifth term. Cornyn is being challenged by state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt. All three are highlighting their ties to Trump. But Trump hasn't endorsed anybody in the race, saying he supports all of them.
