John Cornyn came out swinging in Facebook ads against MJ Hegar prior to their Tuesday, July 14 run off. It appears Cornyn is semi-actively supporting Royce West who is business partners with major Trump donor, Brint Ryan. Some have asserted Cornyn would rather face West as an easier candidate to beat.
The post by the GOP nominee for US Senate and attacks by Royce West seem to be putting Hegar on the defensive. She has had to repeatedly respond to issues about voting in the 2016 Republican primary and that her points about West’s financial dealings are racist.

US Senator John Cornyn continues to outpace both MJ Hegar and Royce West in multiple polls showing gaps of between 8 and 13. National and Texas Democrats say Texas is in play, but it isn’t clear how much yet.
