In an interview during the Texas Tribune’s virtual festival, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said that should Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) leave his role as the Republican leader in Congress’ upper chamber, Cornyn would want to take his place.

“It’s been my honor to work with Sen. McConnell, who’s been in the Senate a lot longer than I have,” said Cornyn when asked about the possibility of a future majority or minority leader from Texas.

“But should he decide to step down and no longer serve as leader, I’ve made it no secret that I would like to succeed him,” said Cornyn. “If there’s an opportunity to do that, I would like to do that.”

Cornyn said that during his three terms in the Senate so far, he’s “learned a lot” and “developed good relationships” with Republicans and Democrats alike.

“I think that’s based on mutual trust in a place where trust is in short supply. People know me,” said Cornyn.

[Alas Babylon!]

Ted or Rand.

[fella]

I’m from Texas and I say not just NO but HELL NO.

We don’t need the same ‘ole same ‘ole, we need change.

[hopespringseternal]

Wow. Mitch is a lot of things, but at least he’s not a blithering idiot like Cornyn. Cornyn could have a 75 seat majority and the Dems would still take his lunch money.

[Afterguard]

Just NO.

[Ann Archy]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHANAAH....hes not even as SMART as Mitch....but just as MODERATE!

[Lurkinanloomin]

I know he is as bad or worse than McConnell.

Assistant Democrats will always assist the Democrats.

You are of course aware that the other senators will have the final say. They have constituents too. So how do we get the point across? They aren’t listening and Cornyn is good for 5 more years. He should be a back bencher. That’s all.
