Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has secured the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate after defeating longtime incumbent Senator John Cornyn in a dramatic Texas runoff election. Backed by President Donald Trump, Paxton celebrated the victory as a win for the "America First" movement before immediately targeting Democratic challenger James Talarico ahead of November’s high-stakes general election. Political analysts now expect the Paxton vs Talarico race to become one of the most closely watched Senate battles in America.

00:01I feel speechless in a way, but you know, they're not going to let me do that.
00:05Wow. To the people in this room, to the people watching at home, and to the people of the great
00:10state of Texas,
00:13tonight, we just made history.
00:21I want to thank my family, my kids, my grandchildren, the Paxton Patriots, and every single person here today.
00:29Without your love, your support, and your prayers, we would not be here tonight celebrating this incredible victory.
00:37I'd also like to thank all of the grassroots, local, state, and national leaders who supported this campaign,
00:43including Congressman Brandon Gilt, who just spoke, Lance Gooden, Congressman Nels, Congressman Wesley Hunt, and Congressman Ronny Jackson.
01:00I'd also like to thank Scott Pressler and Turning Point Action, and Turning Point Action for their endorsements.
01:11And then there's one person who I think you might know, President Donald J. Trump.
01:24When everyone in Washington told him to abandon me and abandon the people of Texas, he didn't listen.
01:30Instead, he gave his complete and total endorsement.
01:34President Trump is the leader of our party, and his endorsement is the most powerful force in politics.
01:42And I'm honored to have his support, and I look forward to working with him in the Senate to deliver
01:48for Texas.
01:56Tonight, we just sent a Texas-sized message to Washington.
02:01I said it in March, and I'll say it again now.
02:04Today, change was on the ballot, and change won.
02:11Let me be clear, this is not just my win, this is your win.
02:15We just proved that this Senate seat doesn't belong to Washington.
02:19It belongs to you, the hardworking men and women of this state.
02:27We went up against $150 million in all the attacks in the world, and you know what happened?
02:34The voters declared loud and clear a simple truth that we know in our hearts and in our souls, Texas
02:39is not for sale.
02:45Now, I want to take a minute to say something about Senator Cornyn.
02:48I want to thank Senator Cornyn for his service to this state.
02:51John has dedicated much of his life to serving Texas.
02:54He's worked diligently for years to help Texas.
02:57And for that spirit of service to the Lone Star State and our nation, I'm very grateful.
03:01Thank you, John.
03:06So no matter who you supported in this race, whether it was me, Senator Cornyn,
03:10or you voted for someone different in March, I want to thank every single Texans,
03:15and I want to let them know that I want to earn your support.
03:19Tonight is not the end of a campaign.
03:21Tonight is the beginning of the fight to preserve every value we hold dear.
03:25The future of Texas and the future of America is on the line,
03:28and I intend to do everything I can to expand our movement.
03:33I've won three statewide elections because I know how critical it is for our party to come together,
03:38and that's what we must do now.
03:41Without a shadow of a doubt, I will be the Democrats' number one target in November.
03:48Texas will be the radical left's number one priority.
03:51But if there's one thing I know about Texans, it's that we're not going to let them take it.
04:04This campaign is not about red versus blue. It's about so much more.
04:09My opponent is the most extreme radical the Democrats have ever nominated.
04:14He's even running a vegan campaign, whatever that is.
04:19He goes by a few names that you may all have heard of.
04:22Some people know him as Tofu Tallarico.
04:26Some people call him Six Gender Jimmy.
04:31I've even heard some people call him James Tallafrico.
04:35And others refer to him simply as Low T Tallarico.
04:41But no matter what you call him, let me tell you this.
04:44James Tallarico is a threat to everything we hold dear in this state and in this country.
04:49He's a threat to our security and our safety.
04:52He wants open borders and even said a welcome mat should be at our southern border.
04:58He's a threat to our children.
05:01He wants boys and girls sports.
05:04Gender mutilation surgery performed on kids.
05:07And when asked what he loved outside of his family and friends, you heard what Brandon Gill said.
05:12His first answer was trans kids.
05:15That's weird and that's a radical guy.
05:18He's a threat to our prosperity and Texas economy.
05:22He said you can't be a Christian if you support the oil and gas industries.
05:26He wants to raise your taxes and he won't do a single thing to lower costs for you and your
05:32family.
05:33And finally, he's a threat to our very way of life and our values.
05:37I mean, he's a vegan who thinks God is non-binary and that there's actually six biological sexes.
05:43It's hard to imagine someone more radical than that.
05:47No matter what he says or how much he raises, the reality is that James Tallarico is going to be
05:53nothing more than a Texas-based puppet for Chuck Schumer and the National Democrats.
06:00He wants the open borders policies of Biden, the woke agenda of AOC.
06:06He's going to push trillions more in spending.
06:09He's going to continue to drive up prices for all of us.
06:12He can never become our senator, but I need your help.
06:16We know James Tallarico is going to raise more money than any Democrat in America.
06:21So I need everyone watching to go to KenPaxson.com and donate right now and support this campaign.
06:32Every Democrat and I would say every Republican knows that if we lose this state, if Republicans lose this state,
06:38we lose the country.
06:40But I truly believe that together, not only will we win this race, but we can ensure that America's best
06:45days are ahead of us.
06:47You see, I'm not just running against the Democrats.
06:50I'm running to deliver for you, just as I have as Attorney General.
06:54I'm running to lower your cost of living because you deserve to be able to buy a home, afford groceries,
07:00and have a high quality of health care without being forced to stay up at night worrying about how you're
07:05going to pay your monthly premium or pay off your debt.
07:08In the Senate, in the Senate, I'll support President Trump's America First agenda and finally secure our nation's elections by
07:16passing the Save America Act.
07:24I've taken on Big Food and Big Pharma as Attorney General, and I'm going to continue doing that in the
07:31Senate because making America healthy again is critical for our nation's future.
07:37As Attorney General, I've sued some of the largest companies in the world like Netflix, Snapchat, and Roblox for taking
07:44advantage of our kids by exposing them to dangerous, addictive material.
07:49In Washington, I will not stop fighting to protect Texas children from big tech hurting our kids.
08:00We live in dangerous times, and that's exactly why I'll support our military and be ready to confront the threat
08:06from Communist China, which is our number one geopolitical enemy.
08:14Just a few weeks ago, I helped establish the first-ever de-transition clinic in the country at Texas Children's
08:21Hospital.
08:25This will help kids reverse the damage caused by radical doctors who tried to transition them.
08:31And in the Senate, I will never back down from taking on the woke mob.
08:35I've also seen firsthand how bad judges can destroy our freedom and force a liberal agenda on Texas.
08:42That's why I will be dedicated to confirming judges who will uphold and defend the Constitution.
08:53So now it's time to finish this, Texas.
08:55We have until November to come together and bring as many people into this campaign as possible, defeat James Tallarico,
09:03and deliver for our state.
09:06I can't thank you enough for your support and your hard work and your vote.
09:11Thank you for making history.
09:13God bless you, God bless Texas, and God bless the United States of America.
09:25And never miss an update.
