Sherman reported:
MCCONNELL instructed a closed assembly of Senate Republicans Wed that the politics of the border has flipped for Rs and solid doubt on linking Ukraine and border.
“When we started this, the border united us, and Ukraine divided us.”
“The politics on this have changed,” McConnell then instructed his GOP colleagues.
That is ALL about Trump.
McConnell referred to Trump as “the nominee” and famous the previous president needs to run his 2024 marketing campaign centered on immigration. And the GOP chief stated, “We don’t want to do anything to undermine him.”
“We’re in a quandary,” McConnell added.</em?
Sherman’s reporting goes together with a report from HuffPost that Trump is pressuring Republicans to not do something on the border as a result of he needs to disclaim Biden a win:
“Trump wants them to kill it because he doesn’t want Biden to have a victory,” stated the supply. “He told them he will fix the border when he is president… He said he only wants the perfect deal.”
Ukraine and Israel aren’t going to get support as a result of Republicans are afraid of Donald Trump and are caving to his typical extremely egocentric and poor political instincts.
Think about how it’ll play in Home and Senate races throughout the nation when voters discover out that their consultant or senator denied support to Ukraine and Israel whereas doing nothing on the border as a result of Trump said so.
Trump’s meddling all the time causes Republicans to lose, so if Democrats find yourself controlling your complete federal authorities in January 2025, it should as soon as once more be as a result of the GOP was afraid of Donald Trump.
