“First and foremost, he's got an incredibly effective senator and John Cornyn, who is a strong conservative voice and vote for the people of Texas but just importantly to the president is hanging onto that seat, Dana. And it's very clear that John Cornyn at the top of the ticket keeps Texas red. Again, Pax in the top of the ticket. The polling all shows this puts that seat at risk and that has implications down ballot on House races and it also makes that state incredibly expensive.” (03:38–03:42)
