‘The president seems to revel in chaos’: Cornyn goes his own way
John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, withheld support for Trump's immigration spending bill to secure $10 billion in border security reimbursements for Texas. He set conditions for his vote on Trump's attorney general pick and organized fundraisers for GOP candidates excluding Ken Paxton, whom he lost to in a primary. Cornyn expressed concerns about Republican midterm prospects and Trump's influence in the party.
