Fetterman said uniting behind Cornyn could secure the Senate seat as outside groups have spent $18 million to support him amid a divisive GOP primary.
- On Tuesday, Sen. John Fetterman urged Republicans to endorse Sen. John Cornyn to lock down the seat, questioning why they and Trump wouldn’t consolidate.

- As the calendar advances toward March 3, the divisive race could head to a May 27 runoff if no candidate exceeds 50%, with the March winner facing another contender.
