John Cornyn, senator from Texas, anticipates a disastrous result for his party in the midterm elections and consequently this will make the remaining years of Donald Trump’s presidency very complicated. both for him and for the Americans.
During an interview with the newspaper The Novel York Timesthe 74-year-old Republican warned that the Senate will face a turbulent period because a sector of the population is not satisfied with the situation in the country and that could be reflected at the time of voting, placing Trump in a complicated position.
“I don’t say this with any desire for revenge; I just think that’s how things are going to be. “I think he is going to live the last two most miserable years of his life, because November is going to be a disaster,” he said.
The former associate justice of the Texas Supreme Court had been loyal to Donald Trump’s ideas after the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, but recently the nation’s president turned his back on him in the primaries and supported Ken Paxton, a Texas general prosecutor, in the dispute for the seat he occupies in the Senate, which was disappointing.
“There will never be anything that seems enough to him, except blind and absolute obedience to everything he wants, but, obviously, that is not the role that should be given to a senator, especially with regard to management and the balance of powers,” he said.
Far from seeing an improvement in the country, Senator Cornyn envisions a more complex panorama, because if the Democrats regain control of Congress, he contemplates that Trump would face a third impeachment trial with the possibility of seeing the commitments made during his campaign that allowed him to govern the country for the second time truncated.
“This is going to complicate things, it will undoubtedly make them more expensive throughout the country,” he emphasized.
With at least five months until the population returns to the polls, the projection of some political analysts is that the Democratic Party could take at least the Senate from the conservatives and then the race towards the 2028 presidential elections would tend to become more balanced.
