With the midterm elections on the horizon, Trumpworld is turning its attention to critical primary races. The upcoming Senate primary runoff in Texas has seen President Donald Trump endorse Ken Paxton over incumbent John Cornyn, despite Paxton's controversial history.

The primary is set for May 26 and many expect Paxton’s victory due to the president's backing. However, his past—featuring impeachment charges, a plea deal and even allegations of adultery—could prove problematic in November when Democrats may target him more aggressively than Cornyn, who has been a reliable Republican vote.

Meanwhile, Trumpworld watches California's gubernatorial race, with strategists keeping an eye on Steve Hilton. While the race is mostly academic due to the Democratic field, any Republican breakthrough could shift dynamics. In Maine, the primary for Senate seats will closely be monitored as it could impact the crucial 53-47 Senate majority.

These races highlight the delicate balance Trumpworld must navigate between leveraging endorsements and managing candidates' baggage, all while facing potential backlash from key allies like Senator Bill Cassidy in Louisiana.
