GOP senators tiptoe around Trump as the party faces growing political dangers ahead of Nov. 3
Senate Republicans are on the defensive as dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic puts them at risk of losing their majority in the Nov. 3 election.
That presents them with a crucial strategy decision: Do they inch away from Trump and risk alienating his fervent supporters who are at the core of the party? Or do they maintain a united front that could make it harder for them to win over more moderate voters who are souring on the president?
Seven months ago, congressional Republicans gave Trump a bulwark of support during his impeachment trial, with all but one of them — Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah — voting to acquit.
More recently, GOP senators have shown some willingness to push back on the president but they are doing so selectively – on issues such as mask wearing and the trustworthiness of mail-in voting – and most of them studiously avoid direct criticism that could trigger his wrath.
