From government surveillance to abortion to Ukraine, the former president is enjoying unparalleled sway over Hill Republicans’ policymaking.Donald Trump is tightening his stranglehold on the congressional GOP’s policy agenda as he reshapes Republican lawmakers’ party orthodoxy on national security and social issues.
“Part of the problem is what I would call traditional Republicans have just assumed the status quo is going to continue. And obviously that’s being challenged on a number of fronts,” said Sen., who is running to take over from McConnell. “What it means is we’re going to have to work harder to make the case for the policies that we believe in.”
Certain Republican senators still take positions that break with Trump. Cornyn is in line with him on leaving abortion policy to the states but said Trump’s hopes of kneecapping government spy power would omit key information from presidential briefings: “I wouldn’t think any president would want to deny themselves that access to that intelligence.”
