The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, aiming to avert Democratic control of the Senate, threw its support to Texas Sen. John Cornyn on Tuesday.
That’s no surprise. The three-term Republican is a reliable ally for business, with a 90% lifetime rating from the chamber.
But the early endorsement, before Democrats have even settled on a nominee, reflects the chamber’s desire to shore up Texas — long a GOP stronghold — in an election year overshadowed by pandemic-related upheaval.
