Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn disputed a story claiming he is distancing himself from President Trump this election cycle, saying he and the president are more often on the same side when it comes to policy.

Cornyn is in a tight reelection campaign against Democrat MJ Hegar, a retired Air Force combat pilot. He rejected the notion that remarks he made to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram editorial board last week about his relationship with the president should be interpreted as trying to disassociate himself from the president.
