Opinion: Republican senators are paying a political price
Marilyn Sarelas, 71, of Portland, Maine, joins a crowd of demonstrators protesting the nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court at a rally across the street from the Portland office of Sen. Susan Collins on Oct. 4, 2018.
As NARAL Pro-Choice America president Ilyse Hogue tells me, Collins’s"slide in popularity is a problem of her own making.” She says, “Instead of [using] the Kavanaugh moment to cap a career of commitment to women, she chose to cover for a corrupt president, a breach of the trust of voters who won’t forget in 2020.”
Go down the list of 2020 GOP incumbents on the ballot, and you see a similar pattern. Sen. Thom Tillis has slid from a 39/30 approval/disapproval split to 34/33; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tumbled from 44/47 to 36/50; and Sen. Joni Ernst fell from 47/37 to 40/37. These politicians’ Trump sycophancy could well cost them their seats.
