I want to return to something Micah brought up earlier — this idea that if the GOP turns on Trump, it’ll happen all at once. Hawley most certainly has not backed down from his objection, whereas others — such as Loeffler, Lankford and Blackburn — have.
It’s notable that Hawley didn’t back down, and maybe Cruz and Johnson won’t either. But originally as many as 14 GOP senators were going to object, that number looks like it will be a lot smaller now. Is it possible that even if not every GOP member backs down, we’re still seeing a break with Trump and maybe Trumpism? Or is it still too soon to tell?
