Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
In repeated TV interviews, Thune has asked that Trump not endorse any of the three candidates running to replace GOP LeaderThune is perceived as the marginal front-runner in that contest, given his role as McConnell’s deputy, but Trump’s involvement could shape the race in unpredictable ways.
Thune endorsed Sen. Tim Scott , one of Trump’s competitors in the primary, but has since attempted to repair their relationship. But Thune and his allies have been making the case to Trump that an endorsement is not in his own self-interest. The leader race is conducted by secret ballot, limiting his sway over the process, and if his favored candidate loses, Trump risks bad blood before he’s even stepped foot in the Oval Office.
The thrust of Cornyn’s pitch is that he and Trump got along during his first term in office. Cornyn, then the Senate majority whip, helped usher through tax cuts and the confirmation of multiple Supreme Court justices.
