Acquired by the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025 in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick, Dončić has urged the front office to build a championship roster this summer of 2026.

Longtime Senator John Cornyn faces Attorney General Ken Paxton in the high-stakes runoff after neither cleared 50% in March's primary, with Trump endorsing Paxton on May 19 as a fighter against the establishment. Cornyn has raised over $100 million and warns Paxton's scandals could hurt Republicans in November, while voter interviews show rifts: one man backed Cornyn because Trump snubbed him, another called Paxton immoral yet supported Cornyn, and a third praised Paxton's tenacity over Cornyn's long Washington tenure. Pre-election polls give Paxton a slight edge at 48%-45%, with prediction markets favoring him heavily; the winner faces Democrat James Talarico in safely red Texas, testing Trump's influence in the 2026 midterms.
