Trump’s unqualified pick for FBI director, Kash Patel, will be going through the Senate Judiciary Committee to defend his disastrous record of pushing conspiracy theories and vowing to help Trump punish his enemies. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, who are up for reelection in 2026, have met with and praised Patel — leaving little room to guess how they will vote.

“By supporting Kash Patel for a key position in the Trump administration, Thom Tillis and John Cornyn have once again chosen to put their political careers and Trump ahead of their duty to the American people,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado. “Rather than standing up for integrity and properly vetting nominees, they are bending the knee to Trump in order to avoid primary challenges. Patel is unqualified and unfit for the role, and these senators should be putting the interests of the nation above their own political survival.”
