Cornyn's message was shared among several other GOP lawmakers, including Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Bob Corker of Tennessee, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina.
"@SenateMajLdr has been the best leader we've had in my time in the Senate, through very tough challenges. I fully support him," Hatch tweeted.
Corker, meanwhile, praised McConnell's leadership on key legislative issues such as health care and tax reform.
"From health care to tax reform to infrastructure, tough issues to tackle this fall and none better than @SenateMajLdr to get a good outcome," Corker said in atweet.

Tillis also backed McConnell's accomplishments in a series of tweetsThursday, commending the Senate majority leader for being "the single biggest reason why Neil Gorsuch is now a SCOTUS justice."
Other Republican senators who have weighed in to support McConnell includeJohnny Isaksonof Georgia, Cory Gardner of Colorado, Pat Roberts of Kansas,Todd Young of Indiana, Dean Hellerof Nevada and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul also defended McConnell in the Lexington Herald Leader on Friday, telling reporters that there are others to blame for the failed GOP health care plan.
"If there's blame to go around, people from the states, the senators that promised to vote for it then didn't, that's who I think there needs to be a discussion with," Paul said.
Despite Sen. Susan Collins' "no" vote on the GOP health care bill championed by McConnell, the Maine Republican expressed "broad support" for the Senate majority leader in the caucus.
"Majority Leader McConnell understands the Senate is a deliberative & diverse body. He enjoys broad support in our Caucus," Collins tweeted Friday afternoon.
".@SenateMajLdr does a tough job well. He has my support," the Arizona senator tweetedThursday.
The Republicans backing McConnell publicly are predominantly his key allies in the Senate, and their defense has been reserved to support for him while stopping short of criticizing the President.
Trump resumed his public feud with McConnell on Thursday over the failed GOP effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, tweeting at him to "get back to work." When asked by reporters whether the Senate majority leader should resign, Trump said to wait and see if McConnell can get repeal and replace done.
"Then ask me," he said.
