Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is receiving massive praise for his efforts to get the Save America Act passed through Congress.
Paxton is currently in a primary battle with incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Because neither he nor Cornyn received over 50 percent of the votes in Tuesday’s election, they’re scheduled for a runoff election in May.
However, in a stunning move, Paxton posted a tweet Thursday offering to drop out of the runoff election if the Senate “agrees to lift the filibuster” so that it can pass the SAVE America Act without Democrat votes.
