Texas senator clashes with fellow Republican vying for his seat

Original: Senator jabs fellow Texas Republican running for his seat | CNN Politics

A sitting US senator from Texas has publicly criticized a fellow Texas Republican who is running to succeed him, delivering a pointed jab in a contest that was expected to stay friendly. The remark highlights growing friction inside the state's Republican Party as candidates jockey for position ahead of the race, and it has drawn attention from political observers watching for open divides on the right.

Why now: An incumbent senator openly attacking his own party's successor candidate is an unusual intra-party conflict.
