Butt hurt Cornyn having second thoughts about renaming Texas Hwy after Trump

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is backing off a push to dedicate a Texas highway after President Trump, signaling that it may no longer be high on his priority list following his defeat in last month’s GOP Senate primary runoff.

Cornyn introduced legislation in May to rename U.S. Highway 287 as Interstate 47 in honor of the 47th president, as he was trying to court Trump’s endorsement in a hotly contested race against Attorney General Ken Paxton (R).

Now, the four-term senator says the highway bill “may not make it into my priorities” in the final seven months of his term. Instead, a Texas state representative is angling to push the idea forward.
