Cruz opposed Paxton's impeachment. Cornyn has nothing to gain by opposing Paxton, who as US AG would no longer be a primary threat, but opposing him would result in a primary loss in 2026.

Once I would have considered some of the more established Texas Republicans to be a bit independent from MAGA, but the Texas Senate response proved that theory dead with Paxton. They ran my mega conservative state rep out of the house.
"Unified Reich".
