Here’s the fun part: Ted and John are very different. Ted is the firecracker. John is the safety mat. They argue sometimes, but mostly they cooperate.
When a hurricane hits Texas, they both show up. Ted gives fiery speeches. John quietly signs checks. Both bring home billions in federal dollars for the state.
They even have a secret handshake? No, but they do hold a weekly lunch together. They call it the “Texas Two-Step.” Just kidding. But they do work as a tag team.
One funny moment: In 2026, Ted said he might leave the Senate to host a talk show. Cornyn laughed and said, “I’ll drive him to the airport.” Ouch again.
