Cornyn Uses His Lame-Duck Power

“Not long after Senator John Cornyn lost his re-election bid to a right-wing challenger backed by President Trump, the Texas Republican predicted that the remainder of his Senate tenure might be a ‘pretty bumpy ride’ for the president. He warned that he and other lame-duck senators had ‘some cards to play’ and would not hesitate to use them,” the New York Times reports.

“This week, depending on the metaphor you prefer, Mr. Cornyn either made himself a giant senatorial pothole or laid his hand on the table.”
