“President Donald Trump on Thursday said Texas’ incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn and conservative commentator Karl Rove should be blamed if GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton loses to Democrat James Talarico in the Lone Star State,” CNBC reports.
“Trump, who endorsed Paxton over Cornyn in the state’s Republican primary, accused the incumbent senator and Rove of ‘doing everything possible to make it hard’ for Paxton to succeed in the race, where numerous polls show him trailing Talarico.”
Said Trump: “If Ken Paxton loses, it will be because of WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Political Hacks like John Cornyn and Karl Rove, who have ineffectively opposed me for my entire political career.”
