President Trump on Thursday accused two Republicans of sabotaging Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s bid for Senate and preemptively blamed them for a potential Republican loss.
“[Sen.] John Cornyn, and his Liddle’ Buddy, Super RINO, Karl Rove, are doing everything possible to make it hard for Ken Paxton … to win the upcoming Midterm Election,” the president said on social media.
Mr. Cornyn is the incumbent Republican senator for Texas, and Karl Rove is a former high-ranking adviser in President George W. Bush’s administration who worked in Texas politics for decades.

“If Ken Paxton loses, it will be because of WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Political Hacks like John Cornyn and Karl Rove, who have ineffectively opposed me for my entire political career,” wrote Mr. Trump.
Since losing the Republican primary to Mr. Paxton, who was endorsed by the president, Mr. Cornyn has repeatedly criticized him. Mr. Paxton is locked in a tight race with Democrat James Talarico.
