Sen. John Cornyn seemed surprised when I asked him Monday afternoon if he had been keeping up with the Ken Paxton impeachment trial.
A recent poll bought and shared by a pro-Paxton group appeared to show the attorney general trouncing Cornyn in a hypothetical primary.
Sen. Ted Cruz , a Republican senator from Texas , said he hadn't been watching the trial.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz says he doesn't think Texas AG Ken Buzbee 's impeachment trial is a mistake.
The lower chamber of Congress returned Tuesday after 47 days of recess, the final week of which overlapped with Paxton ’s impeachment trial.
“Imagine if we impeached everybody here in Austin that had had an affair, we’d be impeaching for the next hundred years ,” said Texas Rep. Greg Casar .
“It’s hard to say Paxton should be at his impeachment because he shouldn’t be attorney general. He should have resigned multiple indictments ago.” “As bad as it is, this smells like he's gonna survive it,” says Democratic congressman Vicente Gonzalez .
