Hey Cornyn! MJ is going to take that Senate seat you've been treating like a lounge chair.

She needs him to help her. Cornyn isn't as hated as Cruz is. But perhaps with the Texas government fucking up the pandemic response and Cornyn kissing Trumps ass It'll be enough to push her over the top and he is sent packing

during this BLM inflection point with our AA base, but I'm completely happy to back MJ as I have donated to her campaign in the past. Either is obviously an immense improvement. It'll be a tough slog, but I'd love to see Joe's coattails wash Cornyn out in an unprecedented blue wave.
