Tillis says Trump endorsing Paxton over Cornyn was ‘colossal mistake’

Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina criticized President Donald Trump during a CNN State of the Union interview. Tillis stated that Trump made a colossal mistake by endorsing Ken Paxton over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Texas Senate Republican primary. According to Tillis, this decision has put the Senate seat at risk for Republicans. While emphasizing the need to focus on Ohio, the North Carolina Republican maintained that the lack of support for Cornyn was a significant error.
