Cornyn on Fox: Impeachment Really About Kicking the President Off 2020 Ballot
Not only do they want to negate the 2016 election where President Trump was elected, they want to bar him from being on the ballot in 2020. That’s what this impeachment trial is all about. That, to me, is a real threat to the American people’s right to be heard at the ballot box, particularly […]

There’ll have to be litigation… That could take at least weeks, but probably more like months. In the meantime, the Senate […]
Cornyn on Texas Radio: Democrats’ Cover-Up Allegations are ‘Pure Baloney’
You’ll see Chuck Schumer and others saying that there’s a cover-up because additional witnesses weren’t called, which is pure baloney.
