GOP Senators Up for Re-Election Face Loyalty Test
We saw the Colorado Senator Gardner cave to trump. I have heard that Collins may have a trump backed primary challenge https://politicalwire.com/2019/03/27/gop-senators-up-for-re-election-face-loyalty-test/
Wall Street Journal: “Of the seven Republican senators up for re-election in seats rated as Lean Republican or Likely Republican in 2020 by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, only Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) voted to terminate the national emergency. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), who is running in a state Hillary Clinton won in 2016, voted to uphold the president’s emergency declaration.”
“The other 11 Republicans besides Ms. Collins who voted with the entire Democratic caucus and dared break with the president won’t face re-election fights this cycle, though some have still faced backlash.
