John Cornyn might as well fire his entourage of political consultants, advisors, and pollsters. President Donald Trump—the pollster of the people, the one who triumphed in the only poll that matters, Election Day—is confident the Texas senior senator’s political future is secure.
“I looked at your polls. Nobody’s beating you, John. Nobody,” Trump assured Cornyn on Wednesday at a White House event celebrating his administration’s numerous federal judicial appointments. “And you don’t have to worry about Beto anymore, that’s for sure.”
Beto O’Rourke ended his presidential campaign last week and has sworn that he will not enter the Democratic primary race to face Cornyn. That field is already crowded with contenders, though there is no clear frontrunner.
