President Donald Trump is ready to announce who he will endorse in a heated Texas Senate Republican primary race.
The race pits Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Trump said Tuesday his announcement will be coming “shortly.”
On Monday, Trump posted more than 30 political endorsements, but left Cornyn and Paxton off the list by refusing to endorse either candidate.
Trump said he’s “pretty much always known who I was going to endorse. I just thought this was a good time” by delaying the endorsement.
“I’m going to be doing that very shortly,” he added.
Watch:
Cornyn and Paxton have both lobbied for Trump’s support in a heated contest. The battle has included numerous attack ads and assaults on each other’s character.
Early voting started Monday; election day is May 26.
