## Resource

Senator John Cornyn has dropped his push to rename U.S. Highway 287 as the “Trump Interstate,” a move he once hoped would win Trump’s backing ahead of his primary loss to Ken Paxton — who was endorsed by Trump as a “true MAGA warrior.” Cornyn’s defeat and shifting political stance signal a distancing from Trump, even as a Texas state rep prepares to rename the Dallas North Tollway in Trump’s honor. Cornyn also opposes Trump’s nominee Bill Pulte for an intelligence role, citing lack of qualifications, and hints he’ll leave politics soon — possibly to challenge Trump on key issues.
