Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) briefly shared a social media post labeling former President Donald Trump the 'Commander-in-Cheat' before quickly deleting it.

The post, originating from the advocacy group Pastors for Children, criticized Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for various scandals, including his impeachment, felony indictment, and divorce, and ended with a jab referencing Trump's endorsement.Cornyn added his own comment highlighting upcoming voter participation in the May 26 Republican Senate runoff.

This incident occurred shortly after Trump announced his support for Paxton over Cornyn, marking a significant political challenge for the three-term senator.

Earlier, Cornyn had acknowledged his long-standing cooperation with Trump, noting he voted in alignment with the former president more than 99% of the time.

The runoff election is expected to be closely watched as early voting is already underway, with Cornyn trying to maintain support among Texas Republicans amid the high-profile endorsement shift.
