Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) are emerging as the new champions of conservative populism at a time when many Republicans think former President Trump’s grip on the party is slipping.
All three GOP senators voted with almost the entire Senate Democratic caucus to give seven days of paid sick leave to 115,000 rail workers who threatened to go on strike because of an impasse in labor negotiations.
Trump touted a new brand of Republican populism that brought many first-time voters to the polls for the 2016 presidential election and helped him stun political experts and handicappers by defeating Hillary Clinton.
While Trump’s popularity among Republican voters may be slipping, this group of Senate conservatives, who are thought to harbor their own presidential ambitions, are embracing the populism that worked so well for him in 2016.
Hawley has been at the front of the push to remake the GOP from the party of corporate executives to the party of the working man and woman.

I like Hawley though but he's no where near presidential material (IMO).
Cruz has to be dragged kicking and screaming on H1B workers. Rubio STILL likes them.
Yawn! “This time we finally got him!
Call me when Ted has returned the contributions from FTX.
The Hill is famous for Whoppers, but not like Burger King Whoppers, more like Democrat whoppers.
Just one of many polls. Polls doing that this thing is all over the map depending on who is polling, who they’re polling and how they’re polling.
But……
Pres Trump’s decline??
The sHill needs to write something about their fantasy of “TRUMP’S DECLINE”.
Anything.
Trumps decline? Oh mercy, these people are clueless
But not with primary voters, and I'm pretty sure they will get their say over the establishment Republicans.
“The Hill” - snort, snort.
Hill of what? I always wonder.
I wonder when his next rally will be.
Didn’t all of these scumbags vote to send $55b to the Ukes? I know Cruz did.
The Hill is not a hill, but a pile. A brown stinking pile.

Elon Musk likes H1B workers too.
The next two years are going to this leftward migration of names, eventually leading to Nimrata Haley and Mitt Romney, potentially Liz Cheney if they think they can rehabilitate her.
A week’s pay for rail workers, all on Uncle Sam?
Truck drivers should threaten to strike immediately!
It’s open season on the US Treasury!
Trump has declined?
Another Ivy Leaguer…
Trump’s SUPPOSED fake manufactured decline.

Cruz praised Chris Wray in hearings 24 hrs before Wray had his men go to an Epstein Judge that hates Trump to get approval for an unprecedented Raid.
Cruz said Wray was not part of the issues at the FBi. Wray refused to answer whether a GOP factual report on the Biden Family Business contained any Russian disinformation when he clearly knows it doesn’t.
Rubio backed the Intelligence committee attacks and investigations of Trump and wanted the Mueller Investigation to expand / continue. He would not support the Wall.
