Republican leaders are getting on board with Donald Trump’s growing list of Senate endorsements after months of hand-wringing over the former president’s picks.
Despite early concerns that Trump could tip the scales toward untested primary candidates who could jeopardize the GOP’s mission to recapture control of the Senate next year, many Republicans are now expressing ease – even excitement – about the former president’s endorsements.
“Six months ago, I would have told you that he should stay out of it, just let the primaries play out,” one Republican consultant who has worked on Senate campaigns said. “I don’t see a lot of daylight anymore between who he’s picked and who can actually win.”
In the latest sign that GOP leaders in Washington are coming around to Trump’s slate of candidates, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) endorsed former football star Herschel Walker’s Senate bid in Georgia on Monday, calling him “the only one who can unite the party” to defeat Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) next year.

Federal system is choking on Biden ineptitude. That Democrats cannot get unified over a spending bill is starting to have follow on effects.
Story originates from msn.com, home to many reporters who are sincerely concerned about the well-being of the GOP.
He endorsed that mummified POS Grassley. What’s not to like?
Trump antiestablishmentarianism.
Hershel Walker is a no brainer.
Lines up behind them...
To stab them in the back.
Herschel.
He is a no brainer now, but when Trump first pushed him, there was a lot of rino pushback.
The turtle finally supported Walker because he can read the tea leaves, and saw no return in fighting him.
There is problem! Chronic short term thinking. The only goal has to be crushing the democrats permanently.
He needs to do the same thing with Mo Brooks in Alabama instead of the Shelby clone.
Fair point. Turtle was hoping Abrams would switch parties.
The GOP’s mission, with or without Trump,should be to make America Great Again.
Not “get control” of whatever.
Because there has been several occasions they had an opportunity and squandered it.
The ironic part it if they actually made a real effort to make America great they would get elected on droves.
It’s almost like the GOP is a bunch of inside fonies and or corrupt?
“antiestablishmentarianism”
Who knows why that word is somewhat famous?
I think Trump is trying to do a balancing act. Get some fresh MAGA blood in there while keeping some of the old members that have clout and experience. It is a pretty convoluted and complex system. Overly so with all their parliamentary procedures from days gone by.
I know, but Grassley is everything wrong with DC. Guy’s a parasitic pest who has been living off taxpayers for half a century.
He is pure scum. He’ll also be dead or even more brain dead in a year or two, so wtf?
