Trump keeps pressure on Republican senators as impeachment threatens
Politico
President Donald Trump is intensely monitoring his standing among Senate Republicans as Democrats impeachment inquiry ramps up, according to senators who have been in contact with the president and White House officials.
And with the microscope on their every move, some in the Republican Conference are taking a more proactive approach to demonstrate their loyalty. For example, take Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), who called up Trump last Friday to let him know that he and his voters have Trumps back.
I just felt he needed to hear that Indiana is a state thats grown more conservative and would epitomize a cross-section of conservatives in the country. And they are behind him wholeheartedly, Braun said.
Trump is monitoring comments from his GOP colleagues, Braun said, but added that Trump didnt seem worried about a GOP mutiny over the rapidly unfolding Ukraine scandal: I sense a feeling of confidence.
