Thune spoke directly with Paxton following Tuesday's runoff victory, marking the first reported contact between the two men since the bitter primary contest ended.
A person familiar with the conversation described the call as PRODUCTIVE.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, told reporters she was "supremely disappointed" by Trump's endorsement of Paxton over Cornyn.

Guess who's next on the target list?
Wait until the election to vote for Paxton because It’s too thune to vote for him now.
Any5hing lisa murky is against i am for
The handwriting on the wall hits home. How soon will he bring up the SAVE Act?
I don’t understand your post, why isn’t this great news?
SHE should be dis appointed, from her current position.
Thune is a lying POS RINO would needs to be removed from “leadership” immediately. He, and that worthless POS Cornhole could have gone forward screwing over the President at every turn after the next election, if they would have passed the SAVE Act. In fact, PPaxton even stated, several times, that he would drop out of the race if they passed it, but the RINO filth didn’t even make an attempt. Can’t get rid of all these RINO limp-wrists fast enough...
While he and the rest of the rinos will be stabbing folks in the back, revenge is okay for the establishment. Let’s see not what they say but what they do esp thune
Wow, the Republican leader supporting the Republican candidate.
Wow, the Republican leader supporting the Republican candidate.
Thune has put Tim Scott in charge of the Senate war chest for November.
Tim Scott is one of Mitch’s old acolytes. He endorsed Lisa Murkowski over her conservative primary opponent in 2022.
Thune and Scott wasted over $ 100 million dollars in RNC funds on John Cornyn’s campaign.
The RINO senate needs an enema.
Supporting an ELECTED Republican candidate.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, told reporters she was “supremely disappointed” by Trump’s endorsement of Paxton over Cornyn.
Good. Evil hates the light.
He says this after the NRSC spent a reported $100 million against Paxton to keep Cornyn? Glad they have plenty of money, glad none of it is mine.
Thune , old buddy, you have to go. The fact he hasn’t been tossed out on his ass prior is a snapshot of the power that the Rino Cuckolds have in the Gee Oh Pee.
Circle the Wagons, protect the cuckolds !
Instead, the bustards should be tarred feathered and run all the way to Europe. Gtfo of the USA you slimy Uni Swamp bastards.
Money. Like all whores do.
Thune is starting to worry about his own job methinks....
Thune, one of the controllers of Republican Party Campaign funds, led the charge to spend $90,000,000.00 of republican contributors (taxpayers) funds on Cornyn so that Thune’s RINO “pal” and butt kisser (Cornyn) could hang around another six years.
So, “pivot” NO! Thune, McMurky, Collins and others got their asses kicked by Paxton and they know it!
Unnamed anonymous sources are bullstuff.
Oh sheesh. Thune had endorsed Cornyn a long time ago. Incumbency bias and all that. He’s worked hard to raise money for him. It’s Trump who sat on the sideline sucking his thumb until the last minute.
What do you expect Thune, or anyone else, to do? Abandon longstanding commitments and do a 180 because the Oracle of Truth Social finally bestirred itself?
Now Thune, like Cornyn himself, is doing the party regular thing and supporting the party’s nominee, even though they were on the losing side in the primary.
When has Trump ever done that? He’s not interested in leading a political party, which will contain people who disagree from time to time. He’s only interested in the cult of personality.
