John Thune breaks the ice with Ken Paxton - Axios
Overview
Senate Majority Leader John Thune placed a productive phone call to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after Paxton's decisive primary victory over Sen. John Cornyn, signaling a bid by the Senate GOP establishment to make amends. The outreach comes after Trump's endorsement boosted Paxton's challenge and a bruising intraparty fight that worried Republican leaders. Thune's call — notable because he had previously urged Trump to back Cornyn — appears aimed at shoring up unity ahead of the general election.
