The executive director of the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) Alex Latcham attacked the hundreds of thousands of Texas voters who voted for Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) in the GOP senatorial primary on Tuesday night, a head-scratching missive that undercuts the SLF’s stated mission of backing Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) for reelection.
Hunt came in a distant third place in the primary behind Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the primary, a disappointing finish for the congressman after a month or so ago some polling suggested he might be on the rise. What’s more, Paxton seems to have finished about a percent behind Cornyn despite almost all polls showing Paxton actually leading—something that can be construed as a bit of an underperformance on his part and an expectations-defying good night for Cornyn. Cornyn and his allies like SLF had to spend about $71 million to do it—Paxton and his allies, in contrast, only spent about $4 million—but nonetheless one could argue that given the expectations and where things were in this race that Cornyn basically did what he needed to do on primary night to keep his narrative and hopes alive heading into the runoff.
