John Cornyn Lost When the Republican Establishment Abandoned the SAVE America Act

About this episode

The episode discusses John Cornyn's political downfall due to the Republican establishment's failure to support the SAVE America Act.

The polls in Texas have not yet closed, but the story of John Cornyn's political demise has already been written. It was written over the course of two months by a Senate Republican leadership team that had every opportunity to save him and chose, instead, to save the filibuster. Cornyn did not lose to Ken Paxton because Texas Republicans suddenly developed an allergy to the establishment. They have tolerated, even rewarded, the establishment for three decades. He lost because Senate Majority Leader John Thune refused to fight for the one piece of legislation that would have triggered a Trump endorsement, ended the runoff before it began, and handed Cornyn his fifth term on a silver platter.
