[upbeat music] Hi there, welcome to Meet the Press. Now, I'm Ryan Nobles. Right now, voters are heading to the polls in Texas for a slate of primary runoffs that could end up descend- deciding control of Congress this November. The marquee event tonight is the Republican Senate runoff between four-term incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. It represents another test of the president's power over his party after the president made a late endorsement of Paxton, a controversial candidate, over Cornyn.
