Pastor Robert Jeffress says he believes Evangelical voters in Texas will ultimately rally behind whichever Republican wins next Tuesday’s closely watched U.S. Senate primary runoff, as new polling points to a potentially competitive general election battle with Democratic nominee James Talarico.
On Tuesday, the second day into early voting before the runoff election on May 26, President Donald Trump endorsedTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Republican primary instead of his opponent, four-term Sen. John Cornyn.
Paxton and Cornyn are locked in a tight battle for the Republican nomination in a race that will determine who faces Talarico in the general election on Nov. 3.
Evangelicals are a significant voting bloc in this election, which is why in March, ahead of the runoff, Cornyn announced the launch of a Faith Advisory Council that includes Jeffress and Pastors Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, and Max Lucado of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, among others. While being named to Cornyn's advisory council was not tantamount to an endorsement, some churchgoing voters saw it as such, particularly since Lucado had endorsed Cornyn weeks before the council's launch.
