Democrats won both chambers of Congress, but Trump will remain in the White House — and wield the veto pen — until 2029.
With Democrats set to take control of Congress with a resounding mandate for change, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is urging his party to act swiftly — with Trump-like speed — to advance an aggressive legislative and oversight agenda.
While Cornyn said he would back the Republican ticket, he never specifically endorsed Paxton, and he even held a joint fundraiser with former President George W. Bush for Republican Senate candidates that didn’t include him.
But in May, NBC News reported that Pritzker gave signs that he would raise money from other sources should he launch a presidential bid.
This week, the groups are launching a six-figure get-out-the-vote operation that specifically targets Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, where they estimate that nearly 316,000 Latinos who could vote did not participate in the 2024 election.
One man who once held a deep allegiance to Trump said he could not explain the regret he felt.
