Paxton caught complaining about Cornyn’s lack of support in another leaked audio: ‘Wants me to lose’

A fifth leaked audio clip reveals Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton claiming that outgoing Senator John Cornyn wants him to lose in November. Paxton, the state attorney general, previously defeated Cornyn in a bitter Republican primary. While Paxton has publicly expressed a desire for Cornyn's endorsement, the senator has declined to provide it. These secret recordings provide a glimpse into the private tensions between the Trump ally and the senator he defeated during the primary.
