Trump threatens Senate GOP -- now and in the future

A female fighter pilot. A "new kind of Republican." The only woman in Senate GOP leadership. And veteran lawmakers who’ve been in the mix on most every major bipartisan deal over the past decade.

These are a few of the Republican senators President Donald Trump has put at risk this November, through his divisive style of politics, handling of the pandemic and close alliance with the Senate GOP. It’s not just Trump who is on the ballot on Tuesday, but the present and future of the Republican Party.

“The president has represented a departure from more traditional mainstream philosophy. And that’s probably affected the races of a number of my colleagues,” said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who opposes Trump’s reelection.

Senate Republicans enter Election Day with an outside shot at protecting their 53-seat majority, particularly if Trump can overperform expectations in Senate battlegrounds. But even a surprise hold will probably sweep away some prominent Republicans that otherwise might have had a better chance if Trump were a more conventional president. That both rising stars and longtime senators are threatened underscores how far-reaching the damage could be.
