Strict Scrutiny · Will Trump Succeed in Rigging the Midterms? · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

Now, I'm not totally sure about the math, but I think with Mitch McConnell out and not voting and every Democrat presumably voting against Blanche, if you don't have Collins, who I think needs to vote against Blanche to have a chance to win her Senate seat, and Murkowski, who seemed to have some real doubts anyway, then Blanche absolutely needs both Cornyn and Tillis, the two outgoing Republican senators.

who are pretty clearly on the fence.

So I don't know.

Seems like a real question.

Absolutely.

I am so – can I say – I am – yeah.

It does seem like, you know, that Blanche was literally up there saying, no, it's dead, dead, dead in order to get confirmed.

And Trump may just not agree with that.

It may have just been entirely self-serving.

I'm also – I'm so curious about Cornyn and his motivations and his expectations here.

So, like, was he just making a kind of pro forma gesture of principle –

And actually expected some paper to emerge that would give him the cover that he felt he needed, you know, in terms of his conception of self and standing and whatever else.

to vote yes on Blanche?

Or did he actually realize he was going to throw a wrench in the whole thing?

I am genuinely unsure.

But this is incredibly revealing that this fairly straightforward ask, which is to just formalize what Blanche has always said, I don't need to formalize it.

I've said it in sworn testimony.

That's as good as a written document.

But it actually turns out maybe it's not.

Yeah.
