Cornyn Draws Line With Trump

Senator John Cornyn, after losing his Texas primary to Ken Paxton—whom Trump backed—is speaking out more boldly against the former president, refusing to endorse Paxton or other GOP figures he disagrees with. Cornyn says Trump’s support helped Paxton win and that Paxton can manage his own campaign finances. He also dismissed Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s label of him as a “sore loser,” arguing the GOP is drifting from traditional conservatives. Cornyn admits his conversations with Trump were unproductive due to Trump’s shifting positions, and he hasn’t spoken to him since his loss. While still respecting Trump’s cabinet picks, Cornyn is now free to dissent without reelection pressures. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
