Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) both underscored the importance of rallying behind Trump to prevent four more years of President Joe Biden’s leadership.

Senator Cornyn made his stance clear on social media, stating, “To beat Biden, Republicans need to unite around a single candidate, and it’s clear that President Trump is Republican voters’ choice.”
He emphasized the need to counteract what he views as failed policies under the Biden administration, such as the border crisis and inflation.
Sen. Fischer echoed this sentiment, declaring, “It’s time for Republicans to unite around President Donald Trump and make Joe Biden a one-term President.”
She endorsed Trump to address critical issues like border security, economic recovery, and national safety.
