Sen. John Cornyn threw his support behind scrapping the filibuster to pass a voting restrictions bill President Donald Trump has called his “No. 1 priority” in Congress, as the Texas Republican continues to seek the president’s endorsement and stave off a bruising primary runoff election.
Trump has held off on endorsing Cornyn, the pick of top Senate Republicans, over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a bid to pressure leadership to lower the threshold of votes needed to pass the SAVE America Act, which would enact citizenship and photo ID restrictions in elections while also targeting transgender rights. Paxton has said he would suspend his bid if the bill passes.
Cornyn, long a supporter of the Senate filibuster, came out forcefully for repealing the rule in a Wednesday morning New York Post op-ed.
“After careful consideration, I support whatever changes to Senate rules that may prove necessary for us to get the SAVE America Act and homeland security funding past the Democrats’ obstruction, through the Senate, and on the president’s desk for his signature,” he wrote.
Trump called on Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act in a speech at his golf club in Doral, Florida, on Monday, arguing, “I don’t think we should approve anything until this is approved.”
“It will guarantee the midterms,” he said. “If you don’t get it, big trouble, my opinion.”

Anyone who trusts Cornyn is a fool.
We’re about to see who those fools are.
He’s a snake.
I’ll say anything to get re-elected.
There is no plan anywhere to end the filibuster.
Typical journalists lying through their teeth.
It is odd you only hear about him during election season, then immediately he disappears into RINO zone. Every time.
Scrrew that worthless RINO POS... “Cornhole backs” are words that are about as credible as a report from Baghdad Bob.
Tall rat in the corner. He’s still just a rat, and he is cornered. His desire to destroy anything Trump outweighs his self-serving gestures which only last until he’s out of the corner.
Law first. He can announce his endorsement with him at his side after the bill signing ceremony.
Polutico promoting Cornyn?
Only one reason for this.
“Law first. He can announce his endorsement with him at his side after the bill signing ceremony.”
Exactly. Pass the SAVE act and we’ll talk.
Exactly
It is a BS meaningless and cynical offer. He knows the votes aren’t there.
He knows they don’t have the votes.
Not a Texan ... but I’d vote for Paxton regardless of what Cornyn does or who “endorses” him at this point.
Cornyn is a perfect example of why this country is run by the uniparty/GOPe types...and $40,000,000,000,000 in debt for which we cannot recover in our lifetimes.
And exactly why people don’t turn out to vote for these types of turncoats in the mid-terms. Yet RINOs are the saving grace for the Dems.
Think of all the money wasted on this runoff. Thank Hunt.
No I don’t trust him. He’s arino through and through.
Hahaha! Cornyn wants Thune’s job!
