### Trump’s Nod Could Save Republicans Some Cash—Imagine That
So, Senate Majority Leader John Thune is practically begging Trump to endorse Texas Sen. John Cornyn, hoping it’ll sidestep an expensive and ugly primary runoff against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Because, of course, nothing screams “unity” like a backdoor nudge for an endorsement.
Thune hasn’t even bothered to chat with Trump post-election but is already gearing up to push for that all-important thumbs-up. Apparently, if Trump jumps in early, it’ll save everyone money and time—because who wants to focus on the Democrats when they can waste weeks fighting each other?
Cornyn himself was already bracing for a cold shoulder from Trump before the primary results came in. But surprise, surprise—he’s now narrowly in the lead against Paxton. Funny how that works.
Other Senate Republicans are on board with the endorsement train, claiming Cornyn is the best bet for a win in November. It’s almost as if they’re saying, “Please, Trump! Throw us a bone!” And here we are, with Thune calling Cornyn’s performance a “great night,” while his anonymous allies think a Trump endorsement might still be on the table.
So, what’s the takeaway? A bunch of politicians are sweating over who gets Trump’s blessing like it’s the Holy Grail of campaign cash. Isn’t it reassuring to know they’re more worried about saving money than actually addressing the issues that matter?
