As expected, Cornyn took the most votes in the primary, but not the majority needed to avoid a runoff with Paxton.  Shortly thereafter, President Trump stated he would "soon" endorse either Cornyn or Paxton but expected the candidate he did not endorse to immediately drop out of the race and end the runoff; however, he has not made any endorsement.  Early runoff season polling had Paxton ahead, but polling closer to the election showed Cornyn closing the gap and, in some cases, with a slight lead.
