WASHINGTON - Sen.-elect James Talarico (D-Texas) and outgoing Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) met on Monday in Washington, The Hill reported. The meeting came as newly elected lawmakers gathered on Capitol Hill for orientation, the outlet said.
The Hill quoted Talarico describing the meeting. He said he had just met with Cornyn and that Cornyn “has served our state honorably.” Talarico said he was grateful for Cornyn’s advice and guidance and that it was time for the two to come together, according to the report.
The Hill labeled Talarico a senator-elect and Cornyn an outgoing senator. Its summary, however, does not say what advice Cornyn gave, how long the two spent together, or where in Washington they met. The outlet’s summary also does not describe any response from Cornyn.
This story relies on a short summary of Talarico’s remarks, so it reports only those statements and the context the outlet provided. No other outlet’s report was among the materials used for this story, and the details above come from The Hill alone. Further details of the meeting were not available for this story.
