As Trump visits Texas, 3 GOP Senate candidates fight over who gets to kiss his ass

As Trump visits Texas, 3 GOP Senate candidates fight for his endorsement

As President Donald Trump travels to Texas on Friday, all three Republican frontrunners in the state's hotly contested GOP Senate primary will be vying for his coveted personal endorsement, something he's held off making so far.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt plan to attend Trump's speech in Corpus Christi, their respective campaigns told ABC News, with some changing campaign arrangements in order to be there.

Just days until the high-stakes primary election on Tuesday, the candidates remain neck-and-neck in the battle for the Republican nomination, with each trying to align himself closely with the president.

The president's visit to the Lone Star state coincides with the final day of early voting, although his remarks are expected to focus on energy and the economy, according to the White House.

DOJ dropped their investigation into Paxton’s corruption that got him impeached by the Texas GOP controlled legislature, although the Senate failed to convict.
