Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has no intention to campaign for his fellow Republican, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in the heated Senate race against Democrat James Talarico.

Cornyn offered an unequivocal “No” to the Washington Examiner on Tuesday when asked whether he would actively campaign for Paxton after being ousted by the Trump-endorsed candidate in the Republican primary. Still, the fourth-term incumbent confirmed he’ll vote for Paxton.
