Senate Leader John Thune calls on President Trump to endorse John Cornyn for Texas US Senate

Thune seems confident Trump will make his announcement soon. He spoke with Trump TODAY on Texas

"I've spoken with the president already today about Texas. I'm certainly hopeful...I hope the president will endorse John Cornyn. An incredibly effective senator for Texas."

"He represents by far our very best hope of Texas staying red."

"The president makes his own decisions, but I have weighed in many times in support of Sen. Cornyn."

"It's fair to say he knows full well how important it is we hold Texas...I expect you'll be hearing from him before too long."
