Retiring Senator John Cornyn of Texas declined to say whether he voted for Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate who defeated him in a primary run-off election, The Hill reported.
Cornyn pointed to allegations of corruption against Paxton as a significant factor in the Republican Party's loss to Democrat James Talarico in the general election.
He described corruption, particularly associated with Paxton, as a key issue affecting the party's performance in the race.
Cornyn did not directly confirm his voting choice in the election, keeping his position on Paxton's candidacy ambiguous.
