"We all know that Senator John Cornyn does not have the guts to stand up to Trump. But I can tell y'all who does. I do. He used to speak out against Trump the candidate and denounce the border wall. What happened, Big John? Because now all you're doing is bending the knee, kissing the ring, and running ads about how you vote 99% of the time with Trump."
"Well, Kamala Harris got about forty-two percent of the vote in 2024, and I bet Jasmine Crockett will not exceed that. She'll be lucky if she does. She's simply the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or AOC, of Texas. And that may work in New York, but it won't work in Texas, Cornyn replied. Roberts then asked Cornyn about his own primary, So, President Trump is a good friend of yours. He is, for the moment, withholding any endorsement of you. Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas"
Rep. Jasmine Crockett entered the Democratic primary for the Texas Senate seat, displacing former Rep. Colin Allred. Sen. John Cornyn reacted with visible pleasure and called Crockett 'something else' while describing Allred as closer to a 'normal Democrat.' Crockett accused Cornyn of cowardice on Trump, saying he no longer speaks out against the former president and is 'bending the knee' while running ads touting high alignment with Trump. Cornyn compared Crockett to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and predicted she would struggle to attract votes in Texas, citing Kamala Harris's roughly 42 percent benchmark and noting she would be unlikely to exceed it. Questions arose about President Trump's withheld endorsement.
