John Cornyn: “we have been told that the deterrence relationship between the United States and Russia is stable.”

If it would make a difference in the outcome, I'm fine with that, but it won't make a difference, which I don't believe it will, that it's an act of futility," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital.

If there’s not enough votes to confirm him, then Senator Grassley might decide to postpone it. But I don’t think that’s the No. 1 goal right now.

I'm not prepared to vote yes without an agreement.

We didn’t have the authority to sort that out.
