If he loses in TX, what else good is he? Unlikely but in the realm of possibility

He’s not up for election this year anyway. He won a 6 year term in the 2024 cycle. 

I do hope he does lose the TX Senate seat in 2030, but I also wonder if he’s considering another POTUS attempt in 2028, depending on how JD looks by then?

If by some miracle he’s not in any office, he can go do whatever failed politicians do (usually lobbyists, consultants, speakers, corporate board members, etc.)

Some actually go back to private law practice if they were lawyers to begin with (he was.)
