Trump preemptively blames Cornyn, Rove as Texas Senate race tightens

President Trump is publicly preempting a potential Republican loss in the Texas Senate race by blaming Sen. John Cornyn and Karl Rove for undermining Ken Paxton's campaign. This signals internal GOP anxiety about a seat that has not gone Democratic since 1988, and the president's rhetoric may affect intra-party dynamics and voter turnout. The outcome remains uncertain, but the preemptive blame suggests the race is closer than expected.
