Cornyn Exposes Trump's Shifting Alliances

Senator John Cornyn, ousted in his primary by Ken Paxton after Trump’s endorsement, opens up on his strained relationship with the president, calling their conversations “not particularly useful” and noting Trump’s shifting opinions. Cornyn blames not just Trump but also other Republicans—like Mike Lee—for unrealistic expectations of overpowering Democrats in Washington. He suspects Trump backed Paxton to punish Senate leadership, especially after Majority Leader John Thune supported him. Concerned about Paxton’s campaign funding against Democrat James Talarico, Cornyn warns of a tough race ahead. Though he doesn’t target Trump personally, he’s ready to push back on the president’s judicial and legislative agenda in his final Senate months. Other primary losers like Bill Cassidy echo his frustrations, united by their exit from the Senate and a sharper focus on their remaining time.
