Senate Republicans are pushing back hard against Donald Trump, and the cracks in the GOP caucus are widening. Trump has effectively ended the careers of three sitting Republican senators — Tom Tillis, Bill Cassidy, and John Cornyn — by either threatening primaries or endorsing their opponents, including MAGA-aligned Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race against incumbent John Cornyn, who was the number two Republican in the Senate.
Hawk breaks down how Senate Majority Leader John Thune refused Trump's demand to fire the Senate parliamentarian after she stripped the billion-dollar ballroom funding from the reconciliation bill. Thune went further, sending the Senate home for two weeks rather than fight for Trump's priorities, leaving the reconciliation bill — meant to fund ICE and Border Patrol — unpassed.
Trump's so-called insurrectionist compensation fund, widely seen as a white reparations payment scheme for January 6th participants, also failed to survive because Republicans didn't have the votes. With a Senate margin of just 53 to 47, Trump has already alienated three members of his own caucus.
The political math here is brutal. Tillis, Cassidy, and Cornyn — along with Thomas Massie in the House — remain in office for another six and a half months. These are popular, well-connected members within the Republican caucus. The question Hawk raises is simple: why would any of them lift a finger for Trump between now and when they leave?
