Texas AG Ken Paxton is headed to a runoff with longtime Sen. John Cornyn in the state’s U.S. Senate Republican primary. At this time, President Trump has not decided which candidate to endorse, but he says that the decision is coming soon. When he announces his choice, President Trump says that he will ask the other candidate to kindly drop out of the race in the name of party unity. Read President Trump’s full Truth Social post on the matter here: The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas, a State I LOVE and won 3 times in Record Numbers (the HIGHEST vote ever recorded, by far!!!), cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer. IT MUST STOP NOW! We have an easy to beat, Radical Left Opponent, and we have to TOTALLY FOCUS on putting him away, quickly and decisively! Both John and Ken ran great races, but not good enough. Now, this one, must be PERFECT! My Endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable! It is such an honor to realize and say that almost everyone I Endorse WINS, and wins by a lot, especially in Texas! I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I don’t Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE! Is that fair? We must win in November!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP In response to President Trump, Ken Paxton doubled down. On Wednesday, Paxton said that he will stay in the race regardless of President Trump’s decision. Listen here: IT’S OFFICIAL: Ken Paxton announces he will NOT drop out of the race if President Trump endorses Sen. John Cornyn for Texas Senate “No, I’m staying in the race…I owe it to the people of Texas.” “John has not represented the people of Texas well…he’s been against Trump in… pic.twitter.com/KZHPrNZ9jG — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) March 5, 2026 President Trump called Paxton’s response “bad for him” and hinted that he will be endorsing John Cornyn in an interview with Politico: President Donald Trump appears to be leaning toward endorsing Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas GOP Senate primary, issuing a stark warning to state Attorney General Ken Paxton in an interview with POLITICO. The president, in a brief phone conversation Thursday morning, said an endorsement will be “made pretty soon” before addressing Paxton, who recently said he would not drop out of the race even if Trump endorses Cornyn. “Well, that’s bad for him to say,” Trump said. “That is bad for him. So maybe, maybe that leads me to go the other direction.” Trump had previously stated he would ask the candidate he does not endorse to step aside. However, now it appears that Paxton is more open to the idea of dropping out of the race… But, only in exchange for something even more important. In a brilliant move, Paxton just presented an ultimatum to Senate leadership. If the Senate lifts the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act, then he will consider dropping out of the race. Read his full statement on X here: The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I’m committed to helping President Trump get it done. I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act. John Cornyn… — Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) March 5, 2026 The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I’m committed to helping President Trump get it done. I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act. John Cornyn is a coward who has refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass this bill. Now, Fake News reporters and the establishment are trying to destroy me with misinformation. The truth is clear: No one has been more loyal to Donald Trump than me—fighting the stolen 2020 election, being in Mar-a-Lago when he announced his 2024 campaign, and standing with him in NY in the face of lawfare. For the good of our country and for the good of passing President Trump’s agenda, I am determined to help him get this done. As you probably know, the SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. It’s a crucial measure to secure the integrity of our election, which is arguably the biggest issue our nation is facing. Right now, it could pass in the Senate if leaders agree to a talking filibuster. Fox News has more: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says he’s staying in the race for the Republican Senate nomination even if President Donald Trump endorses Paxton’s rival, longtime Sen. John Cornyn. But in a twist, Paxton said on Thursday that he would “consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.” The bill, formally titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, would, if passed into law, require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The GOP-backed bill passed the Republican-controlled House but faces legislative roadblocks in the Senate due to opposition from Democrats. Trump says he’ll soon take sides in the costly and combustible GOP primary showdown between Cornyn and Paxton. Regardless, the Senate needs to hurry up and get the SAVE Act passed! But, it takes a real patriot to put aside one’s own political ambitions in order to ensure something greater gets done for the good of the whole nation. Ken Paxton is getting a lot of praise online for making such an offer. Take a look at some of these replies: HOLY COW! HOLY COW! I’m freaking out — in a good way! Attorney General Paxton said, “I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.” What a man of honor — to consider sacrificing his own… pic.twitter.com/VIdotyjgDB — ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) March 5, 2026 Many of us applaud you for putting principles first… You are a true PATRIOT — AmericasPlumber (@MericasPlumber1) March 5, 2026 Thank you Ken Paxton. You are a patriot. Cornyn is the exact opposite. —

I’m glad the United States has them! The U.S. military on Tuesday tested its famous “doomsday” missile off the coast of California. If you’re unfamiliar with the doomsday missile, one thing to know is that it is notable for its ability to carry large amounts of nuclear warheads. Warheads that are capable of overrunning a country in seconds! The New York Post broke the story on the missile test: The US tested a doomsday ballistic missile off the California coast Tuesday night — as war raged in the Middle East. The Minuteman III ballistic missile — which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads 20 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima — launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base near Santa Barbara at 11 p.m. The unarmed rocket, known as GT 254, hit its intended target near the Marshall Islands in the west-central Pacific Ocean, according to the US Space Force. The missile was fired to “verify the effectiveness, readiness and accuracy,” according to the Air Force Global Strike Command. “[It] allowed us to assess the performance of individual components of the missile system,” Lt. Col. Karrie Wray, commander of the 576th Flight Test Squadron, said in a press release. US will ‘bitterly regret’ sinking Iranian warship, foreign minister warns — as ayatollah calls for Trump’s blood Iranian-American activist torches Kamala Harris over former VP’s criticism of Iran bombings: ‘Who are you?’ “By continually assessing varying mission profiles, we are able to enhance the performance of the entire [intercontinental ballistic missile] fleet, ensuring the maximum level of readiness for the land-based leg of the nation’s nuclear triad.” The test launch comes just days after the US and Israel launched an attack on Iran, killing the nation’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, at his compound in Tehran — setting off a war in the region. President Trump later vowed to step up strikes on Iran, warning, “The big one is coming.” Press release from the Air Force: Late Tuesday Night, the United States tested a Minuteman 3 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile aka “The Doomsday Missile.” These are capable of carrying nuclear warheads 20x more powerful than Hiroshima and can strike anywhere on the planet.

The BBC reported that France is making moves to boost their nuclear arsenal: France is to boost its nuclear arsenal and extend the deterrent to cover other European countries, in a major development of its nuclear defence policy. In a speech in Brittany, President Emmanuel Macron explained the changes as the response to an increasingly unstable strategic environment. “The next 50 years will be an era of nuclear weapons,” he said. Speaking to naval officers in front of a nuclear submarine at the Ile Longue base near the port of Brest, he said the number of French nuclear warheads would be increased from their current level of around 300. He announced the launch in 2036 of a new nuclear-armed submarine to be called The Invincible. He said eight other European countries – the UK, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden and Denmark – had agreed to participate in a new “advanced deterrence” strategy. Writing on X, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk referenced the decision, saying: “We are arming up together with our friends so that our enemies will never dare to attack us.”

President Trump has weighed in on the topic of who will be Iran’s next leader. After joint air strikes in Iran by the United States and Israel resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iran has been leaderless Days later, Israel struck a building that reportedly had nearly 90 clerics who were gathering to make a selection on who would lead Iran next. On Thursday, Trump shared, that he will have a say on who the next leader of Iran will be. The Hill provided further remarks from Trump on the process of selecting Iran’s next leader: President Trump said on Thursday that he must be personally involved in the process of selecting a new leader in Iran. In an interview with Axios published on Thursday, Trump said that the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei, is most likely to succeed his father, but that the pick would be “unacceptable” to him. “We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran,” Trump told the outlet. “They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela,” the president said. Rodriguez, Venezuela’s former vice president, became the country’s leader after Trump ordered U.S. strikes on that country that resulted in the ousting and capture of then-president Nicolas Maduro. There have since been signs of some cooperation between the U.S. and Venezuelan governments. Trump’s demand that he decide the next leader of Iran, however, could complicate efforts to end the conflict in that country, which was long run by the U.S.-backed Shah before the Iranian revolution. The Shah’s rule was strengthened by a coup in 1953 backed by the U.S. and British governments in which the CIA was instrumental. On Wednesday, Trump shared that there aren’t many people left in Iran’s current regime to appoint as leader. Take a look: BREAKING: President Trump just said every single time Iran tries to choose a new leader, that new leader ends up dead. “Everybody that seems to want to be a leader, they end up dead!” Follow: @BoLoudon pic.twitter.com/3uaLUB3qjX — Bo Loudon (@BoLoudon) March 5, 2026 The Hill covered Trump’s full remarks he made on Wednesday, regarding the current state of the Iranian regime’s status: President Trump on Wednesday said the next leaders of Iran keep dying in the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military operation. “Their leadership is rapidly going. Everyone that wants to be a leader ends up dead,” he told reporters in the White House Indian Treaty Room. “Their missiles are being wiped out rapidly. Their launchers are being wiped out,” he added. Iran’s leader of roughly 37 years, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in Saturday strikes on Tehran. “I got him before he got me,” Trump told ABC News of the leader’s passing. Days after Khamenei’s death, a building housing 88 members of the country’s Council of Experts was bombed while they were counting votes for Khamenei’s replacement, according to Axios. The president previously said assaults on Iran will continue for up to “four to five weeks.” “It’s a great display of military strength,” Trump said in reference to the U.S. strikes on Wednesday.

The popular prediction-market app Kalshi is refusing to pay approximately $54 million to its users who correctly predicted the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
