Cornyn Breaks with Trump After Loss

Senator John Cornyn, after losing his Republican primary in Texas to Ken Paxton—endorsed by Trump—has sharply turned against the former president, urging Trump to use his own resources to support Paxton instead of leveraging his influence. Cornyn, now focused on aiding other GOP candidates, rebuts Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s label of him as a “sore loser,” arguing the party is drifting from traditional conservative voters. He also reveals their conversations were rarely productive due to Trump’s shifting positions, and says he hasn’t spoken to Trump since his defeat. While acknowledging Trump’s cabinet picks deserve respect, Cornyn insists he’s entitled to disagree with Trump’s endorsements and actions, signaling a growing rift within the GOP as some leaders begin distancing themselves from Trump’s orbit.
