Fetterman suggests Trump back Cornyn to ‘lock down’ Senate race

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) offered Republicans a suggestion on Tuesday on how to ensure a competitive Senate seat remains in GOP hands.

Fetterman contended that President Donald Trump and Republicans have the opportunity to “lock down” Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) hotly contested seat by coming together to endorse the incumbent over two other leading GOP candidates looking to beat Cornyn in a three-way primary. Fetterman’s comments echo the viewpoint that, among the GOP field, Cornyn holds the most viable chance of beating a field of Democratic contenders eying a chance to flip the seat blue.
