In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, President Trump's ally Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn in a long and bitter Texas GOP primary war. Paxton now faces Democrat James Talarico in a race that could decide the GOP's slim 53-47 Senate majority.

Also State Sen. Mayes Middleton defeated Rep. Chip Roy for the Republican attorney general nomination in Texas, California Rep. Steve Hilton leads the gubernatorial race in the Golden State, and other state election results.
