John Cornyn Lost With His Boots Off
John Cornyn, a Republican senator from Texas, lost the Republican primary to Ken Paxton, a Trump-aligned candidate with legal and ethical controversies. Cornyn's campaign emphasized loyalty to Trump but was undermined by past actions like certifying Biden's election and private opposition to Trump's 2024 bid. Trump has increasingly targeted Republicans with even minor deviations from his agenda, leading to the defeat of figures like Cornyn.
