President Donald Trump says he'll soon endorse a Republican candidate in the Texas Senate race. And he's warning that the divisive contest “cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer.” Incumbent John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton advanced on Tuesday to a May 26 runoff for the nomination. Trump says in a social media post that his endorsement will be coming and that he'll ask the candidate who doesn't get his backing to drop out. Democrats have nominated state lawmaker James Talarico. Texas hasn't sent a Democrat to the Senate in nearly four decades.
