Donald Trump’s stooge John Cornyn has a real problem

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

At this point every Republican Senator who’s up for reelection in November has decided to sink or swim with Donald Trump. That’s not the brightest strategy, as the toxically unpopular Trump is on track to lose, and he’s in danger of taking the rest of the GOP down with him.

This brings us to Republican Senator John Cornyn. Texas is supposed to be a red state, but Joe Biden’s poll numbers are competitive there. Whether Biden can pick off Texas or not, it means Cornyn is vulnerable. Adding to Cornyn’s problems: Democratic candidate MJ Hegar, an Air Force veteran, is running an upstart campaign.

MJ Hegar called out John Cornyn over his corrupt antics:

First John Cornyn voted against expanding unemployment benefits.

Then he told Texans those same benefits are a "lifeline."

But after lunch with his DC bosses, he called them a "mistake."

Texans are sick of his lying & bootlicking. It's time for a straight talker in the Senate. https://t.co/1Ed6yPku3t
