John Cornyn teases revolt against Trump after primary betrayal

Outgoing Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), defeated in May's GOP primary by a Trump-endorsed opponent, is leveraging his "newfound political freedom."Punchbowl News reported Monday that Cornyn aims to extract concessions from the White House or obstruct its agenda. Cornyn's primary target is shuttering the Trump administration's $1.7 billion anti-weaponization fund, which provides payouts to those claiming unfair targeting by former President Joe Biden's Justice Department. Cornyn suggested Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation could be jeopardized unless the White House capitulates on the fund."If they want to get [Blanche] out of the committee, I think they realize they need to talk to us," Cornyn said. Already freed from primary threats, Cornyn previously leveraged ambassador nominees to secure international AIDS relief funding commitments. He promised, "You ain't seen nothing yet," according to Punchbowl News. Cornyn joins growing GOP "apostates," or ousted lawmakers with nothing to lose by opposing Trump, according to The Washington Post's Karen Tumulty. Watch the video below.

Key Republican hits back at Trump's 'act of futility' over Senate schedule: 'Bad approach'

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) slammed President Donald Trump's demand for the Senate not to take a recess until the SAVE America Act is passed.On Monday, the senator, who was recently ousted from the Texas Republican primary runoff following Trump's endorsement of his opponent, Ken Paxton, called this whole plan an "act of futility," NOTUS' Igor Bobic reported.“Unfortunately, with the assistance of some senators, he's raising expectations among Republican voters," said Cornyn. "They're bound to end up being disappointed, which strikes me as a bad approach 99 days before the midterms.”Trump has been obsessed with passing the SAVE America Act for months. The legislation would impose draconian nationwide restrictions on voting rights, including proof-of-citizenship and voter ID requirements so strict that even REAL ID driver's licenses wouldn't be acceptable in most states.The passage of the bill was a significant flash point in the Texas Senate primary, even though both Cornyn and Paxton supported the legislation; Paxton vowed to drop out of the race if Congress passed the legislation before the date it was held, as a ploy to pin its failure to pass on Cornyn as the incumbent.Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), for his part, has also poured cold water on the scheme to hold back the Senate from recess, reminding Trump and the general public that the votes just aren't there to change Senate rules to stop a Democratic filibuster.

The Democratic Establishment Running Scared in Michigan

No primary-especially a Senate primary-should go on this long. But Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, having dragged on for months, has turned into an interminably vicious grudge fest-one that's not likely to subside until voters finally go to the polls on August 4 and choose between Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed.
