Mitch McConnell is fearful that Senate Republicans pays dearly in 2022 for supporting Trump’s bogus claims of election fraud.
The Washington Submit’s Paul Kane tweeted:
What Hawley could have achieved is put a giant goal on again of Senate Rs, much like 2010-14 period.
Numerous Rs up in ’22 (Blunt, Portman, Grassley, Hoeven, Thune, Younger, Lankford) now might face MAGA main challenges except they vote w/ Trump, towards their very own beliefs.

Senate Republicans are actually in a no-win scenario. In the event that they solid a sane vote towards the election problem, the MAGA crowd will attempt to main them, and a few of these Republican incumbents must be fearful a few main. In the event that they vote with Hawley, they’ll keep away from a main however label themselves as enemies of democracy for the 2022 common election.
Mitch McConnell solely cares about maintaining the Senate Majority, however the wheels have been set in movement on a Republican doomsday situation. If Democrats win the runoff, and a number of other Republican incumbents have votes towards democracy hanging over their heads, the GOP might find yourself dealing with a midterm massacre.
McConnell tried to maintain his caucus out of this mess as a result of he is aware of that each one the outcomes are dangerous, and now Senate Republicans may very well be heading for catastrophe as a result of Josh Hawley desires to run for president in 2024.
