I sat down with Texas Senior Senator John Cornyn about the topic and also the elephant in the room, his primary challenger, Ken Paxton. Could this plan backfire on Republicans? You know, everything I've seen indicates that while If California's successful in negating the five seats in Texas, other states like Ohio, maybe Missouri and others will see a gain in Republican seats nationwide. And I know President Trump wants to make sure that the midterm elections, we keep the House. Otherwise it means his agenda is in trouble. (00:40–00:59)
