Cornyn Sticks With GOP Core After Primary Loss
TL;DR
Sen. John Cornyn, who lost his Texas primary to Ken Paxton, did not join fellow Republicans breaking with Trump on several votes, instead voting with leadership on key measures including an immigration-enforcement package and opposing a ban on Bill Pulte serving as interim DNI. While Democrats and some GOP senators defected on various amendments linked to the DOJ’s so-called anti-weaponization fund, Cornyn remained aligned with his party, signaling a case-by-case approach for his remaining months and pushing back against the so‑called YOLO Caucus that some of his peers have joined.
