The cartoon depicts a man resembling Sen. John Cornyn calling out to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is buried beneath a mountain of suitcases marked with scandals, impeachments and legal issues. The speech bubble delivers Trump's endorsement directly into the pile. The image responds to the May 2026 Texas Senate primary runoff where former President Donald Trump backed Paxton against Cornyn. Paxton's history includes impeachment by the Texas House and multiple indictments. The visual emphasizes how the endorsement arrives amid ongoing controversies surrounding the candidate.
