Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn appeared to be grieving his loss in the Texas Senate runoff race with quotes from the Bible and Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n

Cornyn lost to Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in Tuesday\u2019s runoff race by a 28-point margin. In several X posts, the senator insinuated that he \u201cfought the good fight\u201d and that the end of his term is \u201cnot the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning,\u2019 Winston Churchill,\u201d Cornyn wrote in a statement on X Friday.

Cornyn also cited an old fable about a frog carrying a scorpion across a river, though the scorpion doomed both of them after stinging the frog.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAn old, but apt fable: A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river,\u201d Cornyn wrote. \u201cThe frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: \u2018I am sorry, but I couldn\u2019t help myself. It\u2019s my character.’\u201d<\/p>\n

The Texas Republican also cited 2 Timothy 4:7, stating, \u201cI have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton on May 19 during early voting for the runoff. He accused Cornyn in a Truth Social statement of being \u201cvery disloyal\u201d and of not fighting hard enough to pass his agenda. Cornyn originally co-sponsored the Safeguard America Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act and introduced the legislation in the Senate along with Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee, however, the legislation has struggled to get through the Senate due to the 60-vote threshold to avoid a filibuster.<\/p>\n

Trump called on Senate Republicans to nuke the filibuster to get the legislation passed. Cornyn published an op-ed for the New York Post in March arguing that Democrats\u2019 willingness to use procedural hurdles to block the SAVE America Act justified changing Senate rules.<\/p>\n
