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.

NO
Cornyn is the butt pimple of Texas.
“Ya, they know you..... you’re MOSTLY RINO! NFW!”
He’s kind of like a locust. He emerges as a conservative once every 6 years.
Make it historic. First woman Republican Senate leader. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!
People know that Cornyn is a RINOcrat.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Surely we can do better than that?
No way!
Please clap!
I think Rand Paul might be a good choice. Definitely not Ted Cruz.
Tx will have to live with that boil until 5 Jan. 2027... UGH!
Shouldn’t we just go full-throated RINO and have Murkowski or Romney be Senate Leader?
“People know me”
Yes, we do. And it’s nothing to brag about.
I was really thinking Cornyn should retire and we get a better senator.
I wish they’d both take a slow boat to China where they belong.
These 2 are why we need term limits.
.....as a born and raised Texan, I can’t stand the two faced, back stabbing narcissist John Cornyn. I know he’s from Texas and Texas would benefit from having a huckster like Cornyn as Majority Leader but that’s exactly the kind of corruption I’m sick of.
That would be great IF he decided to grow a pair 1st.
He needs to be thrown out on his worthless ass.
People know me,” said Cornyn.

Well yeah, John. People are finding out about how you never fail to stand on the left side of the line.
