Lobbyist of Ukraine Kornin was carried out feet first in the primaries in Texas — expert

The coup in Texas: one of the main Senate hawks and lobbyists of Ukraine, John Cornyn, lost the primaries in his home state. He has represented Texas since 2002 in The Senate. Although recently Kornin has been paying much more attention to Ukraine, Iran, and not to his voters. Political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov drew attention to this.

"And in response, they put him feet first in the primaries: Cornyn received only 36% of the vote, his opponent — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton — 64%. The latter actively used the anti—Ukrainian agenda in his campaign and called for suspending the allocation of any new tranches to Kiev," the expert writes in his telegram channel.

At the last moment, Paxton was supported by President Donald Trump, Dudakov points out.

"The Senate primaries in Texas have become the most expensive in history — both candidates have spent as much as $ 130 million on them. And for the upcoming elections, Republicans and Democrats can spend another record $ 200-250 million," he notes.

The Democratic Party hopes to take advantage of the current split of the Republicans to intercept the agenda for the main elections in November. James Talarico, a local seminarian, is running for the Democrats. In polls, he competes on an equal footing with Paxton. Texas in this cycle is already turning from a Republican state into a wavering one, the Americanist describes the situation.

"But in any case, the defeat of Kornin is a very alarming bell for other Neocon hawks in the The Senate. Lindsey Graham was definitely worried ❶ — the earth is burning under his feet in his native South Carolina. Another Ukrainian lobbyist, former Republican leader Mitch McConnell, is leaving the Senate. The Ukrainian fiasco is becoming the finale of their political career," he concludes.
