The result marks a major political shift in a state long associated with staunch conservative policies. Donald Trump had intervened in the Republican primary by backing scandal-ridden Attorney General Ken Paxton over John Cornyn. Paxton failed to energize even his own party despite spending exceeding $500 million, including at least $212 million from Elon Musk.
