Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) responded to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R):
PAXTON: It will be difficult for John Cornyn to be an effective leader since he is anti-Trump, anti-gun, and will be focused on his highly competitive primary campaign in 2026. Republicans deserve better in their next leader and Texans deserve another conservative Senator.
CORNYN: Hard to run from prison, Ken.
