Texas AG and Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about his primary victory over incumbent Senator John Cornyn.

Paxton was endorsed by President Trump and won over 63 percent of the vote to Senator Cornyn’s 36 percent. AG Paxton will face far-left candidate James Talarico in the general election this November.

“Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated four-term incumbent John Cornyn last Tuesday in the Republican Senate run-off. He did so by 27 points after President Trump endorsed Paxton,” Bartiromo said.

“You just defeated a four-term US Senator. So, what message do you believe that sends to Republicans in Washington who are still not getting behind President Trump’s agenda in a big way?” Bartiromo asked.

“Well, I think it sends a message we need to listen to Donald Trump. He’s the leader of the party. I think what he is trying to accomplish most Americans want,” Paxton said.

“Whatever we need to do to get behind the President I’m for and I think that message has been sent,” Paxton said.

“It’s pretty unusual for incumbent Senators to lose. It’s almost never happened in the last 50 years. I think maybe twice, and so, this sends a message, two in like a month. I think it’s something we need to pay attention to,” Paxton continued.

“The Senate leadership did not get behind you in a big way,” Bartiromo commented.

“How are you going to get the support that you need from Senate leadership in the Republican party so that they can help you in fact defeat the Democrat in November?” Bartiromo asked.

“I’m very optimistic about getting their support. I’ve already been in contact with Senator Thune, Senator Barasso, Senator Cotton, Senator Scott from South Carolina. So, I think they have all pledged their support along with other US Republican Senators, and I’m going to meet with several this week,” Paxton said.

“I think they understand how important Texas is, not just because of the majority but also because we are Texas. We haven’t lost a statewide race since 1994, and this isn’t the time to do it. We need to unite and we need to fight together,” Paxton continued.

“What’s your message in terms of defeating James Talarico in November? How are you going to do it?” Bartiromo asked.

“I think it’s pretty easy to do in Texas because this guy doesn’t represent Texas values. I’m not sure he can even get elected in California. His views are so radical,” Paxton said.

“His vegan campaign views, his saying the American flag, it’s a complicated symbol. He’s talking about God being non-binary and pushing men into women’s sports. I mean, the list goes on and this isn’t just me making this up. This is what he actually said,” Paxton continued.

“He’s complaining that I’m quoting him with his, with his strange, weird comments,” Paxton said.
