THE HILL: Cornyn: Trump will need GOP majority in Congress.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) suggested Friday that if Donald Trump wins the White House, he’ll need a Republican-controlled Congress to approve his policies.
“If Mr. Trump does become the president of the United States, he’s going to need a Republican majority to govern,” the Senate’s No. 2 Republican said on “The Mark Davis Show.”
“And I think he would welcome working with Republican majorities in the House and the Senate to move his and the country’s agenda forward.”
Republican senators have walked a fine line as Trump has risen to the top of the GOP presidential pack.
While many have denounced some of the businessman’s policies, they’ve been wary of cutting ties completely with him or the conservative voters they’ll need to keep control of the Senate in November, when Republicans are defending 24 seats.
Hmm.
