WASHINGTON – Sen. John Cornyn has joined the anyone-but-Trump caucus, becoming the most prominent Texas Republican to shun the former president’s 2024 comeback bid.
“We need to come up with an alternative,” Cornyn said. “I think President Trump’s time has passed him by and what’s the most important thing to me is we have a candidate who can actually win.”
Cornyn made the comment in a call Thursday afternoon with Texas reporters, when asked by The Dallas Morning News whether Trump’s performance on a prime-time CNN town hall last week gave him pause about the ex-president’s efforts to win the party’s nomination.
