Amid criticism, Barr appeared unfazed by her endorsement of the candidate supported by President Donald Trump.
Texas Attorney General Paxton squared off against John Cornyn, a senator serving four terms, who had not supported Trump during the 2024 presidential primary.
In a Truth Social post, President Trump, aged 79, highlighted Cornyn’s lack of support, stating: “He was not supportive of me when times were tough and, despite having the Most Successful Economy in the History of our Country during my First Term and, with all of the many other things that I accomplished (Secure Border, Military Dominance, Space Force, All Time High Stock Markets and 401(k)s, Record Job and Economic Growth, and so many other things that would be impossible to readily list!), which are considered by many to be legendary.”
Trump further remarked, “John was very late in backing me in what turned out to be a Historic Run for the Republican Nomination, and then, the Presidency, itself, both of which were Landslide Victories and, more importantly, gave us the Country that we have today — THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA (and when we finish up with Iran, which will not be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon, you will see numbers that have never been generated by our Country before!), as opposed to the DISASTER of the previous Administration.”
