Texas’ John Cornyn and MJ Hegar argue over coronavirus response, policing and the Supreme Court in U.S. Senate debate

Democratic challenger MJ Hegar and Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn faced off in a Nexstar televised debate Friday night at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin.

Cornyn repeatedly tried to paint Hegar as a puppet of Democratic leaders and too liberal for Texas. She argued he has lost touch with the state after 18 years in the Senate.
