Republican Senator Thom Tillis criticized President Donald Trump's decision to back Ken Paxton over incumbent John Cornyn in the Texas Senate Republican primary, calling it a "colossal mistake."
Tillis, a frequent Trump critic from North Carolina, made the remarks during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union."
He argued that Trump's support for Paxton, who defeated Cornyn in the May primary, has put the Senate seat at risk for Republicans heading into the general election.
The comments reflect ongoing tension within the Republican Party over primary endorsements and their potential impact on the party's chances of holding competitive Senate seats.
