Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas has predicted a midterm disaster for President Donald Trump, stating that the president will then face the most miserable two years of his life during the final stretch of his White House tenure.

Background

Cornyn lost the Texas Republican U.S. Senate primary runoff to President Trump-endorsed Lone Star State Attorney General Ken Paxton last month. Cornyn has served in the Senate since late 2002.

According to The New York Times, Cornyn said, ‘I had really thought that we’d gone on so long with no endorsement that he was just going to stay out of it. But he couldn’t resist.’ Cornyn also stated, ‘If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody. There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants. But obviously that’s not what the senator’s role is supposed to be, especially in terms of checks and balances.’

In a May 27 Truth Social post, Trump said Cornyn ‘will remain my friend for a long time to come, as we both watch Ken become a fantastic, common sense Senator, one who is respected by all.’ Cornyn responded, ‘If that’s the way friends treat you, you wonder about his enemies.’

Cornyn predicted that President Trump will eventually regret his actions, stating, ‘It’s going to make things harder, certainly more expensive in Texas, and make it harder around the country… I don’t say that with any sort of desire for vengeance; I just think that’s the way it’s going to be. He’s going to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term, I think, because I think November is going to be a disaster.’
