OP Sen. John Cornyn told KXAN he had texted Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin inviting him to defect.

Earlier this week Manchin angered Democrats by refusing to back Biden's signature domestic bill.
Manchin has long been rumored to be considering a defection from the Democratic Party.

Sen. John Cornyn said he texted Sen. Joe Manchin inviting him join the Republican Party after the Democrat faced a furious backlash for his opposition to President Joe Biden's signature domestic bill.

Cornyn, a Texas Republican, told KXAN that he texted Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, with the message: "Joe, if they don't want you we do."

Cornyn added that recruiting Manchin to join the GOP would be "the greatest Christmas gift I can think of."

"I don't know what he will decide to do," Cornyn added.

"But I do know West Virginia has gotten increasingly red."
