John Cornyn predicts that Donald Trump will suffer the two most miserable years of his life
John Cornyn anticipates a severe setback for Donald Trump as he fails to avoid a hypothetical defeat of the Republican Party in the midterm elections
John Cornyn, senator from Texas, anticipates a disastrous result for his party in the midterm elections and consequently this will make the remaining years of Donald Trump's presidency very complicated for both him and the Americans.
During an interview with The New York Times, the 74-year-old Republican warned that the Senate will face a turbulent period because a sector of the population is not satisfied with the situation in the country and that could be reflected at the time of voting, placing Trump in a complicated position.
"I don't say this with any desire for revenge; I simply believe that this is how things are going to be. I think he is going to live the last two most miserable years of his life, because November is going to be a disaster," he said.
The former associate justice of the Texas Supreme Court had been loyal to the ideas of Donald Trump after the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, but recently the nation's president turned his back on him in the primaries and supported Ken Paxton, Texas attorney general, in the dispute for the seat he occupies in the Senate, which was disappointing.
“There will never be anything that seems enough to him, except blind and absolute obedience to everything he wants, but, obviously, that is not the role that should be given to a senator, especially when it comes to the control and balance of powers,” he said.
Far from seeing an improvement in the country, Senator Cornyn envisions a more complex panorama, because if the Democrats regain control of Congress, he contemplates that Trump would face a third impeachment trial with the possibility of seeing the commitments made during his campaign that allowed him to govern the country for the second time truncated.
“This is going to complicate things, it will undoubtedly make them more expensive throughout the country,” he emphasized.
With at least five months until the population returns to the polls, the projection of some political analysts is that the Democratic Party could take at least the Senate from the conservatives and then the race towards the 2028 presidential elections would tend to become more balanced.
