Defeated MAGA Senate candidate 'begged' Trump for a job so he could flee House: report

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) placed third in the Republican Senate primary in Texas on Tuesday and was eliminated, with incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton advancing to a runoff.

According to NOTUS, that loss comes after Hunt only ran his Senate campaign as a last-ditch effort to get out of a seat in the House that he hates representing.

"His defeat ... marked the end of a campaign that GOP officials in Washington and Texas found uniquely frustrating," said the report.
