WASHINGTON – Today on the floor, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed turning the page on failed Democrat leadership and looking ahead to the second Trump administration and Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.

“The last four years under Democratic leadership has been marked by reckless spending, failed border policies, and a weak and dangerous presence on the world stage.”

“My state has had to deal with huge influxes of migrants for a long time.”

“The history books will remember this presidency for the open border policies that have been simply devastating to our country.”

“The American people voted not only to turn the page, but to write an entirely new chapter written by Republicans in the majority.”

“No doubt we have a lot of work to do, but we also have a mandate from the American people, who are sick and tired of failed leadership and ready for change.”

“I look forward to being part of that change, and I’m grateful to the Texans who’ve continued to give me the opportunity to serve them at this pivotal time as we work out to get our country back on track.”
