The Rita Cosby Show: Hour 1 | 05-26-26
Rita Cosby discusses the Republican primary race in Texas, where Ken Paxton defeated longtime Senator John Cornyn for the GOP nomination to the U.S. Senate. Rita covers the victory as evidence of the powerful influence of Donald Trump, whose endorsement is described as a decisive factor despite Paxton’s past legal controversies. The broadcast also describes a changing Republican Party in which loyalty to the MAGA movement is outweighing traditional political seniority, contributing to losses by establishment figures such as Chip Roy.
