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.

They aren’t called the ‘Most Exclusive Club in the World’ for nothing, and you and I ain’t in it!................
Ya, they know you..... you’re MOSTLY RINO! NFW!
He’s the Senate Republican Whip, second in line in the party leadership. It’s his turn...according to tradition.
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Eff tradition.
Unfortunately the Senate Republicans won't.
Paul Ryan look alike.
Waiting on President Trump.
LOL! The two Senators least liked by their peers. Either one would likely get only a single vote - their own.
As a fellow Texan, I say remove John Cornyn from the Senate! John’s not worthy to carry Ted’s jock strap!
Cornyn is merely the reflection Mitch sees in the mirror.
You say eff tradition and I say eff tradition but neither of us are in the Senate. It's the way the game is played.
Noooooooooo. Another democrat pretending to be Republican. I’m from TX and haven’t voted for Cornyn the last two elections. Please no.
And Jeb was supposed to be the Designated Loser to Hillary, too, according to RINO tradition...
We do need change, why did you re-elect him?
And that’s exactly why i say no thanks. I know you
What a great idea - replacing one worthless rino with another one 🤪
Great. Another incompetent Rino we had to elect to try to get the majority.wants to be an leaderless leader!
is it not time for 250 million Americans to shut
this BS down for the good of the country.
THESE liars/rapists/backstabbers/seditionists/traitors
are not worth a vote, let alone the oxygen they waste.
