Well, howdy there, internet people, it's bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about how Trump missed a deadline and scrambled a GOP Senate race.

Trump had big plans for the Republican Texas primary for the U.S. Senate race.

the results of the runoff are finalized. That was Tuesday at 5 p.m. So now, Trump can make his endorsement,

but it doesn't matter. Both Republican candidates will be on the ballot. That means people will
