BREAKING: Ken Paxton Defeats John Cornyn | SC Senate Rejects Redistricting (Ep 746)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Another major political shakeup as Donald Trump continues to flex his influence inside the Republican Party.

In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton scored a major primary victory over longtime Senator John Cornyn in one of the most closely watched Republican races in the country. We break down what the results could mean for the future of the GOP and why Trump-backed candidates continue to dominate key primaries.

Meanwhile, redistricting battles are erupting across the country. A federal court blocked Alabama Republicans from implementing a congressional map designed to potentially give the GOP another seat in the U.S. House.

And here in South Carolina, the state Senate rejected a White House-backed effort to redraw congressional districts during a special session called by Governor Henry McMaster. In a dramatic 26-18 vote — including opposition from 14 Republicans — the proposal failed, effectively ending the push for now.

Add in record turnout during the first day of early voting, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most politically charged election seasons in years.
