This is literally what all Republican senators expected for almost 70 years. Why did it change? Leaders wanted to protect their positions by ensuring their colleagues didn’t have time to assess results of November elections and plan for the future.
This is a reasonable and prudent request. And it’s what the GOP did up until Howard Baker pushed for quick elections to protect his leadership position from conservative critics.
Tough conversations are necessary and I support this 100%.
Republicans need to GET FOCUSED and Make Washington Work for YOU!
